Solid-state battery technology is considered the next important step for electric cars, as they are considered safer and more reliable than lithium-ion batteries using liquid-based electrolytes. Despite all these advantages, producing solid state batteries is just as difficult and costly. However, with the development of technology and the increase in the number of electric cars, companies started to invest more in this regard.
Toyota developing a new solid-state battery
One of the biggest companies investing in solid state batteries is Toyota. The Japanese manufacturer, which accelerates the transition to electric cars, wants to eliminate the range problem of electric cars with its new battery technology.
Toyota announced that they have finally started work on a solid-state battery technology that can offer a range of 1,199 kilometers and is fully charged in 10 minutes. The Japanese automaker said yesterday that it will simplify the production process of both solid-state and liquid-based batteries, thereby cutting weight, size and costs in half.
New move from used car opportunists: They dropped 2 zeros from the prices!
Opportunists don’t stop! Now they have found the solution to remove zero from the advertised prices. Here are the used car opportunists…
Announcing that it will focus on electric vehicles in the past days, the Japanese company seems quite ambitious in this regard. Claiming that it can make the production of solid state batteries easier than lithium-ion batteries, the brand plans to start the production of these batteries in 2025.
The Japanese manufacturer plans to use solid-state batteries in its newly introduced models starting from 2026. The company also states that thanks to lighter, less complex cars with fewer components, they can produce an advanced solid-state battery that can offer a range of over 1,450 kilometers after 2028.
As it is known, electric vehicles can create great problems for users with their reduced range, especially on inter-city roads. Toyota, on the other hand, can largely solve the range problem of electric cars with its new battery technology. So what do you think about this subject?
