Toyota is on the brink of being able to produce solid-state batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) as quickly as conventional batteries, with mass production potentially starting around 2027 or 2028.

This progress stems from a breakthrough by Toyota that might halve the cost and size of these batteries. If this initiative succeeds, solid-state batteries could potentially double the range of EVs to around 1,200 km and cut charging times to 10 minutes or less.

Furthermore, Toyota has joined forces with Idemitsu, a leading Japanese oil company, to work together on technology aimed at mass-producing solid-state batteries.
