Toyota: Toyota has unveiled specifics about its forthcoming battery technology for electric vehicles, which will result in four different battery types beginning in 2026. Three of the batteries will employ innovative liquid electrolyte technology, while the fourth will be Toyota’s long-awaited solid-state debut.
Toyota’s next-gen EV batteries
Toyota‘s next generation of electric vehicles will debut in 2026 with additional battery options that will improve the range to 800km while remaining up to 40% cheaper than the Toyota bZ4X.
The two electric car batteries, the range-focused lithium ion Performance and the affordability-focused lithium-iron-phosphate popularisation, are part of the Japanese company’s attempt to make its EVs more appealing to a broader customer base.
Between 2027 and 2028, a 1000km-range lithium-ion High-Performance pack will replace the Performance battery in the lineup. Toyota claims that it will also be 10% less expensive.
That’s all well and good, but it’s worth noting that one issue with solid-state batteries has always been their limited lifespan. However, Toyota claims that it has just developed a few technological improvements that will overcome this problem, but we won’t see the complete outcome until 2027 to 2028.
What did the officials say?
“We will need various options for batteries, just as we have different types of engines,” said Takero Kato, president of Toyota’s EV development centre. “It’s important to offer battery solutions compatible with a variety of models and customer needs.”
