Toyota first sold all-solid-state battery electric vehicles in 2022
According to a report from the China-Japan News on July 25, Toyota is currently working on electric vehicles that will be powered by all-solid-state batteries. These new batteries are expected to significantly increase the driving range of electric cars and reduce charging times dramatically. The report suggests that Toyota aims to launch this model as early as 2022.
The article highlights that Toyota's upcoming electric vehicle will be built on a brand-new platform, allowing it to be fully charged in just a few minutes. However, the report doesn't provide any specific sources for these claims. In comparison, today’s electric vehicles typically use lithium-ion batteries, which take between 20 to 30 minutes even with fast-charging technology and have a range of about 300 to 400 kilometers (185–250 miles). Solid-state batteries, which use solid electrolytes instead of liquid ones, are considered safer and more stable than current lithium-ion options.
The report states that Toyota plans to start selling the new car in 2022. A spokesperson for the company said they couldn’t comment on the report at this time. Christopher Richter, an automotive analyst at CLSA in France, noted that there's still a long way to go between laboratory testing and mass production. He added that while 2022 might seem close, many changes could occur over the next few years. Additionally, the pace of development depends heavily on battery costs.
Toyota has been actively exploring different technologies, including hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Last year, the company announced its intention to expand its long-life electric vehicle lineup and established a dedicated department to handle both the development and marketing of EVs, led directly by Toyota President Akio Toyoda.
On July 23, the Asahi Shimbun reported that Toyota intends to begin mass-producing electric vehicles in China as early as 2019. This model will be based on the C-HR platform and will be powered by a lithium-ion battery.
As electric vehicles become increasingly popular globally as a zero-emission alternative to traditional cars, Toyota, Japan's largest automaker, is striving to close the gap with industry leaders like Nissan and Tesla. Reuters pointed out that it's still unclear whether Toyota can surpass its competitors, as mass production requires strict quality control and reliability.
Currently, other major automakers, such as BMW, are also investing in all-solid-state battery technology, with the goal of achieving mass production within the next decade.
