Toyota Claims Solid State Battery Breakthrough That Will Give EVs 932 Mile Range

The next iteration in the world of electric vehicles is getting closer…at least, if Toyota’s claims are accurate.

The legacy automaker is now claiming it has “found a technological breakthrough that will allow it to bring solid state batteries to market as early as 2027,” according to PC Mag.

Chief Technology Officer Hiroki Nakajima said this week: “We found quality material. We’ll keep up with the rest of the world and definitely put it to practical use.”

As Samsung notes, a solid state battery “has higher energy density than a Li-ion battery that uses liquid electrolyte solution. It doesn’t have a risk of explosion or fire, so there is no need to have components for safety, thus saving more space. Then we have more space to put more active materials which increase battery capacity in the battery.”
