Chery Auto will host its 2026 International User Summit in Wuhu, China from October 18-24, showcasing nearly 20 green technologies and ecosystem innovations. The company reports NEV sales of 725,214 units from January to August 2026, up 46.2% year on year, and highlights a hybrid engine thermal efficiency of 48.57% and a solid-state battery with 400 Wh/kg energy density. Chery is focusing on reducing carbon emissions across the vehicle lifecycle, including V2G technology, smart charging, battery recycling, and material reuse. The summit will also feature AI-powered cockpits and human-machine collaboration, alongside charity rides to promote low-carbon living. More than 3,000 AI humanoid robots have been delivered to 60+ countries for manufacturing and commercial use.

The 400 Wh/kg solid state battery number is impressive, but the real test is whether V2G actually helps the grid. Curious what charging standards they are using and if any pilots are running. Thermal efficiency of 48.57% is solid for a hybrid though.

NEV sales up 46% year on year is a strong signal, but the policy details matter more. Are these sales driven by subsidies or actual demand? Also, carbon lifecycle claims need verification. Hope they publish methodology at the summit.

Chery is pushing hard on green tech, but the press release is light on specifics about the recycling and reuse loop. Good to see V2G and battery recycling getting attention though. The summit could clarify the actual circular economy metrics.

Not my usual beat, but the battery recycling and material reuse angle is interesting. If they can show real payback on recycling, that matters for industrial adoption. Also, the 3,000 AI robots delivered is a lot, but what do they actually do in manufacturing?
