New Toyota Battery Will Have Four Versions and Promises to Completely Change the Global Electric Car Market. The New Technology Will Meet the Demand for 1.7 Million Electric Cars.

Toyota has fully entered the electric car sector and, after announcing a new factory exclusively for battery vehicle production in 2026, the automaker also revealed that it is working on four new next-generation batteries. Some reduce the vehicle cost by up to 40% and can deliver a range of 1,200 km.

New Toyota Battery Will Meet Demand for 1.7 Million Electric Cars

According to data from the website Inside EVs, Toyota will have four types of batteries. Three of them will feature new liquid electrolyte technologies and one will have solid-state battery technology. For the company, the new Toyota battery will meet the demand for 1.7 million cars among the 3.5 million that Toyota plans to sell worldwide by 2030.

Additionally, the website states that the brand has divided the liquid electrolyte batteries, the first type, into three categories: Performance, High Performance, and Popularization.

Battery Type 2: Popularization will have lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry and aims to be cheaper to popularize electric cars. The table provided by the automaker shows that it should cost up to 40% less than the bZ4X. However, its range is lower, reaching only 600 km, and it takes about 30 minutes to charge. This new Toyota battery is expected to hit the market between 2026 and 2027.

The high-performance battery aims to deliver a 10% reduction compared to the current model with approximately 20 minutes of charging time. Its distinguishing feature is its range, which can reach 1,000 km.

This version is expected to hit the market between 2027 and 2028. Finally, the fourth type of battery, the solid-state battery, does not yet have defined savings; however, it is also expected to provide a range of 1,000 to 1,200 km. The attraction of this new Toyota battery would be its charging time, which is just 10 minutes. These are expected to hit the market starting in 2027, with some still without a defined date.

Toyota Advances with Solid-State Batteries

In July, a report published by The Guardian, citing the president of Toyota’s research and development center for carbon neutrality, Keiji Kaita, stated that the multinational has simplified the production of the material used to produce solid-state and liquid-based batteries, which will allow for a reduction in weight by half, as well as size and cost of the packages that will be installed in electric cars.

Kaita emphasizes that both for its liquid batteries and for its solid-state batteries, the automaker’s focus is to dramatically change the current situation, where batteries are very large, expensive, and heavy. In terms of potential, Toyota aims to reduce all these factors by half.

Has the war with artificial intelligence already begun? The US Army tests armed robots in the Moroccan desert, uses drones with explosives, and showcases a system capable of reducing military decisions from hours to just 3 minutes.

The invisible flaw that protects banks, passwords, and messages may be numbered after a quantum experiment transforms imperfect randomness into numbers impossible to predict.
