Chinese vacuum cleaner maker Dreame released its solid-state battery at the 2026 Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE) in Shanghai. Its small-batch deliveries will start this year, with mass production scheduled for 2027.
Dreame is a Chinese home appliances maker founded by Yu Hao and became a part of Xiaomi Ecological Chain in 2017. Last year, this company announced its entry into the automotive segment. Dreame revealed various concept cars under the Kosmera, Star Motor, and Nebula brands. Most of these vehicles made headlines due to their resemblance to Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, and M-Hero cars.
Previously, Dreame disclosed that its Nebula Next 01 concept car has a torsional stiffness of over 45,000 Nm/deg and a drag coefficient of 0.185 Cd. Its powertrain reportedly comprises four electric motors. Each has a peak power output of 469 hp. The combined power reaches 1,903 hp. On March 12, Dreame revealed the Nebula Next 01X crossover, teasing the solid-state battery tech.
Dreame solid-state battery
Dreame released its solid-state battery at the 2026 AWE in Shanghai. Brand’s officials refer to this pack as “Starry Sky Crystal Core Power Battery.” Dreame didn’t share any details about this technology. It is also unclear if this battery was developed by the home appliance maker. However, Dreame highlighted that this is the first volume-production-ready pack.
The Dreame’s solid-state battery adopts cells with a capacity of 60 Ah (ampere-hours). Company officials claimed that Dreame will start small-batch deliveries this year. The mass production is scheduled for 2027.
CarNewsChina expects that GAC Group could become a cell supplier to Dreame, as this company previously completed its first large-capacity solid-state battery cell production line. Such cells boast a capacity of 60 Ah and an areal capacity of up to 7.7 mAh/cm². GAC officials previously shared that vehicles with solid-state cells can nearly double the range of conventional batteries.
Starry Core Power Battery details
Dreame said the newly unveiled Starry Core Power Battery features an energy density exceeding 450 Wh/kg, and a pack integration efficiency of 85%. It also claims 10-minute fast charging from 30% to 80% and heat resistance up to 300°C, while using sulfide electrolytes and a dry-electrode process to improve both safety and energy density.
The battery is positioned as part of Dreame’s broader “Starry Sky Plan” vehicle strategy, with small-batch delivery targeted for 2026 and mass production in 2027. Dreame-linked battery ambitions go further as well: the company has outlined a goal of reaching a 2C charge/discharge rate and up to 800 Wh/kg cell energy density by the end of 2027, against an industry backdrop that broadly sees 2027 as an early deployment window and around 2030 as the more likely timeline for larger-scale commercialisation.
Editor’s comment
Dreame has become an interesting development in the Chinese auto industry. The company made a splash with several concept cars and a plagiarism scandal. Dreame continues to unveil new models at various exhibitions, simultaneously showcasing new technologies. But so far, all we’ve seen is a pretty wrapper with hints of borrowing.
Nevertheless, the vacuum cleaner manufacturer maintains its grip on the spotlight, constantly making headlines. However, we can’t yet objectively evaluate either the company’s cars or its technologies.
