Toyota Battery Expert Just LEAKED A Groundbreaking EV Battery!
Toyota announced on Tuesday that it would be introducing high-performance solid-state batteries as well as other technologies to increase the driving range and lower the price of future electric vehicles. This strategic shift helped boost Toyota’s shares.
The Japanese giant’s technical roadmap, which covered topics as diverse as the creation of next-generation batteries and a dramatic reorganization of plants, amounted to the automaker’s most comprehensive exposure of its strategy to compete in the rapidly expanding EV industry, where it has lagged behind rivals led by Tesla.
The idea was announced the day before an annual shareholders meeting where governance and strategy, including a gradual shift to battery EVs under previous CEO Akio Toyoda, would be examined.
Shares of the top-selling automaker in the world increased by 5% on the day to 2,173 yen, their highest level since August.
According to Toyota, next-generation lithium-ion batteries with better ranges and faster charging will be available starting in 2026.
It also bragged about a “technological breakthrough” that solves solid-state batteries’ durability issues and claimed to be working on a way to mass produce the batteries, with a 2027–2028 commercial launch date.
Compared to existing liquid electrolyte batteries, solid-state batteries can store more energy. By solving a significant consumer concern: range, automakers and analysts anticipate them to hasten the move to EVs.
Nevertheless, the price of these batteries will probably increase over time. Toyota will protect itself with more effective lithium iron phosphate batteries as a less expensive alternative to lithium-ion batteries, which have accelerated EV adoption in China, the world’s largest auto market.
Toyota announced it would manufacture an EV with a more effective lithium-ion battery at the upper end of the market with a range of 1,000 km (621 miles). In contrast, the lithium-ion-powered Tesla Model Y, the world’s best-selling EV, has a longer range and has a maximum driving distance of roughly 530 kilometers, according to US standards.
According to Toyota, an EV with a solid-state battery would have a range of 1,200 km and a charge time of just 10 minutes. On the other hand, the greatest network of its sort, the Tesla Supercharger network, provides the equivalent of 321 kilometers of charge in 15 minutes.
Toyota made no mention of the proposals’ anticipated costs or capital requirements.
Since last year, the automaker’s engineers have been debating whether to revamp their EV strategy in order to be more competitive.
The roadmap unveiled on Tuesday revealed that under the leadership of new CEO Koji Sato, Toyota has adopted a large portion of the redesign that engineers and planners have been preparing as possibilities for months.
Using equipment from companies like Aisin and Denso, including electric-axle technology, is part of it.
Takero Kato, head of the brand-new Toyota EV division BEV Factory, stated in a video that was uploaded to the automaker’s YouTube account on Tuesday that “what we want to achieve is to change the future with BEVs.”
On the other hand, Toyota announced that it was creating a platform specifically for electric vehicles to lower the price of new models and a highly automated assembly line that would replace the conveyor belt system that has been a staple of the car industry since Henry Ford invented it more than a century ago.
The “self-propelling” assembly line developed by Toyota allowed the vehicles being produced to go through the process by themselves.
