A Potential Game-Changer
Solid-state batteries have long been regarded as a potential game-changer for EVs. Toyota stated that the company made a breakthrough in its efforts to improve the durability of this technology. Toyota has moved its focus to bringing solid-state batteries into mass production and ready for commercial use by 2027 or 2028.
Toyota’s first solid-state battery is expected to offer a 621-mile driving range with an 80 percent fast charging time of just around 10 minutes. Just for a comparison, the Tesla Model Y has a 336-mile range and about 15-minute fast charging time.
The long-awaited solid-state batteries have been touted by some industry experts as a potential solution to EV battery concerns such as charging time, driving range, and fire risk.
Solid-state batteries are nothing new. Solid electrolytes were created in the 1800s, and they are currently used in in small electronic devices like pacemakers and medical devices.
