    @PriusCamper here's an article explaining all the cars you can get with solid-state batteries - IF you live in China that is and are willing to settle on semi-solid state battery. The rest are demo EVs and or Prototypes.
    Ranges are based on CLTC (China Light-Duty Test Cycle), roughly equivalent to Europe's WLTP or about 60% of EPA.
