Toyota says it has discovered a “technological breakthrough” in its solid-state battery research.
, a technology that has the potential to substantially increase the range of electric vehicles while reducing costs and improving safety.
A solid-state battery, which as the name suggests, uses a solid electrolyte instead of the liquids or gels that most EV batteries use today. The technology, which can already be found in some small devices, is less prone to overheating or fire and is also better for fast charging. The battery is also much denser than current liquid-type batteries, like lithium-ion technology, meaning less weight and higher capacity. This could result in EVs with comparable range to today's offerings but with much less weight, which would be ideal for high-performance models like sports cars.
In its announcement on Tuesday, Toyota said it discovered a “technological breakthrough” that overcomes the hurdle of durability that has held back solid-state batteries from being used in automotive applications. This will enable Toyota to accelerate the deployment of the technology, in both hybrids and electric vehicles.Toyota said it is developing a method for mass production of solid-state batteries and is aiming to commercialize the technology in 2027 or 2028.
