According to Electrek, Toyota will launch an electric car equipped with a new solid-state battery next year, which can achieve fast charging in 10 minutes.
According to Nikkei Asia, under the same conditions, the endurance capacity of the solid-state battery is more than twice that of traditional lithium batteries. Moreover, the new battery will not take up too much space in the car, even compact models need not worry. At the same time, it only takes 10 minutes to charge, which is two-thirds shorter than the traditional charging time.
Toyota started to develop solid-state batteries in 2017 and plans to commercialize electric vehicle batteries from 2020. In addition, Nissan is also developing solid-state battery-powered cars and hopes to launch them before 2028.
Currently, Toyota has not yet launched a full-electric vehicle outside of China. Earlier this month, Toyota announced that it will launch a new full-electric SUV and stated that this is the “first step” in its efforts to build electric vehicles.
