Toyota Claims Breakthrough That Will Lead To 1199km EV Battery

 According to a news article, Toyota claims to have achieved a breakthrough in battery technology that could lead to the development of a solid-state battery capable of providing a range of up to 745 miles (1,199 kilometers) and recharging fully in just 10 minutes. The company has simplified the production process for solid-state and liquid-based batteries, which is expected to reduce the weight, size, and cost of the battery packs used in vehicles. Solid-state batteries are considered safer and more reliable than lithium-ion batteries, but they are currently more expensive and challenging to manufacture.



Toyota's advancements in battery technology are significant as solid-state batteries are seen as the next step in the evolution of electric vehicles (EVs). Other companies, including startups like Solid Power, QuantumScape, Factorial, and StoreDot, have been working on making solid-state batteries more affordable and easier to produce. However, Toyota believes it can simplify the manufacturing process even further, potentially making solid-state batteries easier to produce than lithium-ion batteries.


Toyota recently announced its plans to shift its focus from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs, while still maintaining hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen-powered vehicles. The company aims to introduce an all-new EV-only architecture by 2026 and plans to produce a three-row SUV in the United States by 2025, equipped with batteries sourced from North Carolina. Additionally, Toyota estimates that it will be able to develop an advanced solid-state battery with a range of over 900 miles (1,448 km) by 2028.


This news signifies Toyota's commitment to advancing battery technology and transitioning to a more electrified vehicle lineup.
