With The 745-mile Solid-state Battery, Toyota Just Became A Force To Reckon With::Toyota has been criticized for not being the most proactive manufacturer out there, but with this new solid-state battery, it just changed the game.
I’ll believe it when they actually put that battery in a car.
Yeah, how the hell do you fit a 700+ mile battery in a 5m car?
Same way you’re able to fit 9m of digestive system inside a human body that you stuffed into a 1m ice box just before the police arrived.
I love some proper vaporware!
Yeez the EV scene is riddled with promises. Make a car already.
Toyota has been “about to change the game” for a long time. They are just trying to keep investors happy while not actually investing in evs
If they can mass produce solid state ev batteries, that IS an absolute game changer, because their EVs will have a lifespan many times longer than that of any wet-cell EV.
And if Tesla can get fully reliable self driving, it will be a game changer.
But I’m not holding my breath for either.
Then make a car with it today! This is just propaganda.
Yeah until they put it in a car that is for sale and I can buy at my local dealer, I ain’t believing it.
…That doesn’t cost 70k
right behind the hydrogen-powered vehicles!
I’d be down for hydrogen if people didn’t daily forget to unhook the gas lines when they drive away
Sounds like a software issue. I can’t drive my EV while it’s plugged in and I don’t see why hydrogen should be different.
Unfortunately they’ve been pushing the release date of this battery forward for the last two three years or so. I believe they have some core technology but haven’t been able to overcome some critical issues.
CATL and BYD have already shipped the Sodium Ion batteries that cost nearly a third of LiPho and half thstmof Li-ion at similar densities, you can buy cells and cars in China already. They also both cells and cars out next year with a 2x density Li-ion next year, it’s already been showcased so we know it exists but it’s not on sale yet. By the time Toyota ships this Chinese companies will have been in market with a comparable product for many years. Sodium ion will do great for existing range ans replace LiPho for power storage and hpthe new Li-ion will be used in high range cars and probably replace all Li-ion in everything where density is preferable to price.
How do they manage that you need more sodium to store comparable amount of energy? Larger size?
As far as I know they are equivalent density to LiPho, I don’t know how they do it but it should allow similar range to existing current Li-ion batteries.
Sorry didn’t see it in the article but what’s it made of, and is it as environmentally disastrous as lithium? And how quickly does it charge?
Lithium is disastrous only if not recycled.
Unfortunately recycling is expansive so less profitable
I think you meant expensive.
Not a lot of lithium is recycled nowadays. Added to this is the fact lithium is stuffed into all sorts of disposable junk tech that will likely never even be considered for recycling.
10 minutes allegedly for the charge.
I want to see a car out there with it, and some years of it working…
Press X to doubt
Always have been

This tells me we probably need to wait until 2030+ for this supposed 745mile battery.

745 mile range on the battery and they’d make it a hybrid? What a waste!
Need a more complicated drivetrain, a transmission, an engine block, and a fuel tank. All of that added weight and complexity when you have a 745 mile range without it?
Why? What is their reasoning?

It doesn’t exist, that’s it. This is just another lie from a known serial lier

It’ll be a much smaller solid state battery in a hybrid, they wouldn’t put enough batteries in it to hit 745 miles. I assume they would use at most 10% of the cells a 745mile vehicle would need could be under 5%.
