Toyota Eyes 2027 Launch for Solid-State BEVs
Toyota Motor Corporation is accelerating its push toward next-generation battery electric vehicles (BEVs) with the aim of launching BEVs equipped with all-solid-state batteries between 2027 and 2028.
In collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Mining Co, the company has entered a joint development agreement to mass-produce cathode materials tailored for this advanced battery technology.
All-solid-state batteries – composed of a cathode, anode and solid electrolyte – can have significant advantages over conventional lithium-ion cells, including:
- Longer driving range
- Shorter charging times
- Higher output
These advantages make them ideal for future BEVs. Toyota’s timeline signals growing confidence in overcoming technical hurdles and scaling production.
