Toyota shines with 8.274 patents, announces powerful battery for electric cars with a range of 1.500 km and surpasses automakers Ford, Tesla, BYD, Chevrolet and Fiat
Toyota's relentless pursuit of energy storage innovations for electric cars is reaching new heights, and the automotive industry is about to witness a revolution driven by battery innovation. The Japanese giant emerges as the undisputed leader, with 8.274 battery patents solid state, promising an impressive range of 1.500 km, surpassing LG Energy Solution, which holds 5.539 patents.
This is a crucial milestone on the path towards a more efficient and sustainable world. With 20 years of expertise in research and development, the Japanese giant not only leads in the number of patents, but also designs the future of electric mobility.
Toyota CEO “Our Solid State Battery Will Change the Industry in 2024”!
Toyota's solid-state batteries promise a range of 1.500 km and recharges in less than 10 minutes!
The secret is in solid state batteries from Toyota, using electrodes and electrolytes in this revolutionary state. The high energy density of these batteries not only promises a range of 1.500 km, but also quick recharges in less than 10 minutes. This technological leap not only redefines the performance of electric cars, but also increases security, reducing fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries.

Despite the promises, the solid batteries face complex production challenges. The assembly precision, speed and pressure required require advanced processes. However, Toyota was not intimidated and has already surpassed the durability challenge, achieving durability comparable to lithium-ion batteries. Collaboration with partners like Panasonic and even petrochemical giant Idemitsu highlights Toyota's determination to overcome these obstacles and make this technology accessible.
The automaker's ambition goes beyond the mass production of solid batteries
Toyota is not only leading the way in innovation, but also setting an ambitious timeline for the commercial launch of this technology. The first models, scheduled for 2027 or 2028, will be lower production vehicles, positioned in a higher price segment to absorb initial costs. Plug-in hybrids will be the pioneers, paving the way for a mass production in 2030, when the scale can reach hundreds of thousands of units.
Toyota's vision is not just limited to solid batteries. The company invests in several technologies, reserving lithium-ion technologies for high-performance versions and lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) for more accessible vehicles. This diversified strategy places Toyota as a leader not just on one, but on several fronts of the electrical revolution, consolidating its position as a pioneer and innovator.
It is clear that Toyota not only leads in numbers and patents, but also actively shapes the industry landscape. Commitment to innovation, strategic partnership and long-term vision highlight Toyota as the driving force behind revolution of electric cars and paving the future of mobility.
