San Francisco, November 10, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- San Francisco-based solid-state battery technology developer Appear Inc announced today that the company has moved from the technology validation phase to the production phase.
The company stated that it has completed field tests for three types of electric vehicles: motorcycles, electric bicycles, and scooters. It has also finished advanced manufacturing trials and has commenced pre-production with a manufacturing partner.
In addition to technological advancements, Appear has also added new distributors and strategic partners in both mature and emerging markets. The company stated that it will continue as planned to commence limited commercial production in the middle of 2027 and achieve full mass production in 2028.
About this technology
Currently, most electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries, which transmit electrical charges between the electrodes through a liquid electrolyte. Solid-state batteries, on the other hand, replace the liquid electrolyte with solid materials. The industry generally believes that this represents a path towards safer batteries, as there are no flammable liquids that could leak or catch fire, and they can also provide more energy in smaller and lighter battery cells.
