Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, has announced its plans to develop and commercialize solid-state batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) by 2028. Solid-state batteries are considered to be the next-generation of battery technology, as they offer higher energy density, faster charging times, and improved safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
According to Toyota, its solid-state batteries will enable EVs to achieve a range of up to 900 miles on a single charge, which is more than six times the current range of its flagship EV, the Mirai. The company also claims that its solid-state batteries can be recharged from 10% to 80% capacity in less than 20 minutes, which is comparable to refueling a gasoline-powered car. Toyota’s solid-state batteries are expected to revolutionize the EV industry and contribute to a more sustainable future.
