Toyota hails “breakthrough” in battery research for longer range and cost reduction of 40%
Toyota’s next generation of electric cars will offer new battery options that will increase range to 497 miles and be up to 40% cheaper than the Toyota bZ4X when they arrive in 2026. The two electric car batteries – the range-focused lithium ion Performance and the affordability-focused lithium-iron-phosphate Popularisation – are part of a push from the Japanese firm for its EVs to appeal to a wider customer base.
A higher-specification solid-state battery is under development targeting a range of more than 750 miles. The introduction of solid-state batteries means car makers could drastically increase the range of EVs without also incurring a size or weight penalty. They also achieve the same range with a significantly reduced weight.
