While most automakers are racing to launch new electric vehicles, Toyota has kept a slow and steady strategy, focusing on developing breakthrough platform technology. That step forward is the solid-state battery, which is considered the core technology of the electric vehicle industry.

According to the plan, Toyota is expected to launch its first electric vehicle equipped with solid-state batteries in the 2027-2028 period, opening a new milestone in the company's electrification roadmap. This is considered a strategic project that can reshape the entire global auto industry.

Since 2021, Toyota has been collaborating with Sumitomo Metal Mining, Japan's leading mining company, to develop cathode materials for next-generation batteries. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes, which increase energy density, reduce weight, shorten charging times, and reduce the risk of explosion. As a result, batteries can achieve much higher performance than current technologies.

Toyota and Sumitomo said they have successfully developed a high-strength anode material that can be mass-produced using powder synthesis technology, a key step in moving from the laboratory to the industrial chain.

According to the roadmap, the first generation of Toyota solid-state batteries will provide an operating range of about 1,000 km per charge, with the ability to fast charge 10 - 80% in just 10 minutes.

According to the roadmap, the first generation of Toyota's solid-state battery will provide a driving range of about 1,000 km per charge, with the ability to fast-charge from 10 to 80% in just 10 minutes. The second generation, expected to launch later, can reach a range of 1,200 km, marking a leap in energy density and battery durability.

This technology not only significantly improves the user experience, but also makes electric vehicles more competitive with traditional gasoline vehicles, a key factor in the global green transition.

Not only Toyota, big brands like BMW, Honda, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis are also investing heavily in solid-state batteries, some have announced experimental prototypes. Meanwhile, MG has commercialized semi-solid-state batteries in the new generation MG4 model, although it still uses about 5% liquid electrolyte.

However, with the scale of research, the speed of cooperation and the global production network, Toyota is well positioned to become a leader in the era of solid-state batteries. If successful, the company could reverse the perception of “slow-moving”, affirming its pioneering role in clean energy technology in the auto industry.
