TOYOTA IS PLANNING A NEW EV WITH A 900-MILE RANGE AND 10-MINUTE CHARGING TIME: ‘THE HOLY GRAIL OF BATTERY VEHICLES’
“If it is a genuine breakthrough, it could be a game changer.”

Toyota just unveiled plans for new electric vehicle battery technology that could offer up to 900 miles of driving range, and many are calling it a potential game-changer.
At a recent briefing, the company announced big news about new solid-state EV battery tech. Saying it simplified production of the material used to make solid-state batteries, the company plans to roll out a model by 2025 that will extend cruising range by 20%.
A higher-performance version is still under research and development but has the potential to deliver 50% more cruising range — over 900 miles, according to Toyota. That could get you from New York to Chicago and then some, and charge time would be just 10 minutes.
Toyota had already made recent headlines by announcing it would have EVs with solid-state batteries on the market within the next few years.
Solid-state batteries (as opposed to lithium-ion batteries, which use a liquid electrolyte) are regarded as a potential turning point for EVs. They have the power to reduce charging times, increase capacity, and reduce fire risk.
The company will also offer two next-gen battery types in 2026 and 2027 — referred to as “performance” and “popularized.”*
The performance version will use the same battery chemistry as the bZ4X SUV but will offer 20% more driving range. Plus, it will cost 20% less. The popularized version will have the same gains in driving range but at a 40% cost reduction.
While solid-state batteries have been around for a while, there have been problems scaling up production to put them in mainstream EVs, the Guardian reports. Many companies have been working on the problem, including Porsche. One startup has even developed a way to 3D-print these batteries in different shapes and sizes.
However, according to the Guardian, Toyota claims it has made a breakthrough in solid-state battery manufacturing that will actually make this product easier to produce than lithium batteries.
Toyota’s innovations in solid-state batteries are big news for the company and the planet. The new technology will save both time and money for consumers in the form of lower prices and less time at charging stations. Greater range will help absolve range anxiety for potential customers interested in EVs, making these cars more suitable for cross-country travel while charging infrastructure catches up.*
This is great news for the planet as well. EVs contribute far fewer planet-warming gases to the atmosphere than traditional cars.
David Bailey, professor of business economics at the University of Birmingham, said this could be a pivotal moment in the development of electric cars — if Toyota can pull it off.
“Often there are breakthroughs at the prototype stage but then scaling it up is difficult,” he told the Guardian. “If it is a genuine breakthrough it could be a game-changer, very much the holy grail of battery vehicles.”

IF Toyota accomplishes that task, you will look extremely stupid in your Tesla having to charge it every 200 miles.
Joey wets panties.

Rightys are so dishonest, and not just about EVs. Do you drive 300 miles a day? Neither do EV owners. You wake up to a full change, drive to work and back, and maybe run errands. You drive under 80 miles a day. You are never in trouble of running out. However, most places you go have chargers, so you can top it off. When you are done and park in your garage, you plug in after 7, when the rates drop and you top it off. That is the reality of EVs. You spend no time at gas stations or think about your charge level. It is never in peril.

Exactly. Yesterday, I took my family across town to have dinner with my sister and her family. When I pulled up to the restaurant, I saw a gas station adjacent to it with charging stations. I was under 50% and had enough to get home but I decided to check it out. So I plugged it in, had dinner and left with a full charge. EVs are great.

Joey wet panties, sell that shit to the thousands that were forced to evacuate the Florida hurricanes.

Right. Pay the price for carrying two power plants instead of one!
They get worse gas mileage for the same sized car than just a simple gasoline model.

Still trying to ignore Newton's law of motion eh?

Milquetoast's multi-parsed posts are an eyesore.

The only reason that they're tolerated is because the mods dislike me,
know that the posts annoy me,
and are willing to be annoyed themselves as long as I'm being annoyed as well.

They would have canned this freak's account a long time ago if this weren't the case.
They are not embarrassed to have this cretinous troglodyte all over their forum,
like a multitude of feces stains,
as long as it annoys me.

I don't know what I did to become this important.
They dislike me,
nonetheless don't want to delete my account because of the effect that would have on the forum's collective IQ,
and are thus willing to themselves put up with Milquetoast's stomach turning posts, just to piss me off.


I shouldn't bother you as much as I seem to do, mods.
You should celebrate my presence, not begrudge it,
and you should clear out the riff raff
so as to make the forum
more worthy of my participation.

Would you really prefer to put up with the macaw-boys crap than clean up the place?

How the fuck is that possible? Seriously.

We're finally getting an 'electrified' Miata in 2026
Mazda has confirmed that the next-generation MX-5 Miata will come in 2026 and will be “electrified.”
Not only that, but the Miata is an affordable car, not just a lightweight one. Both of the aforementioned EVs are priced in the six figure range, whereas the MX-5 starts for under $30k.
But there are other lower-priced lightweight EVs, like the 3,000lb Mini Cooper SE at $30k and the defunct 2,900lb BMW i3 which first started at $42k.

Global warming is real.

It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You are STILL trying to deny the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law. You have also ignored other theories of science, including Newton's law of Motion. You discard science. You discard mathematics. All for your religion.
Nordberg said:
In the 1980s a letter sent between energy companies showed their scientists had no doubt that it was real and their business was a huge part of the problem.

Never happened.
Nordberg said:
In the letter, they said the way to fight it was to make people doubt the climate scientists.

There is no such thing as a 'climate scientist', other than a priest in your religion.

So they set about doing exactly that.

Fiction. BTW, do you know who saved the whales? Big oil.

For 50 years they have been lying about climate change so their profits would grow.

Define 'climate change'. Climate cannot change.

Cigarettes are not oil products. False equivalence fallacy.

Cigarettes are very addictive. While smoking does not cause cancer, it does cause reduced lung capacity and puts extra strain on the heart.

I am not paid by Exxon, and neither is the single guy that was making these statements in the name of the company he worked for. He was fired.

:laugh: A 3000 lb Mini Cooper?????!? What an anvil!
Enjoy your reduced range and crappy car and charging headaches and high insurance costs and fires.

Stupid commie.

You should seek professional help for your TDS. Everything isn't about Trump.

For the record TDS refers to people like you, on your side.

People who will ignore any thing and every thing Trump and defend him and say neither he or his comments are actions are relevant.

TDS is cult behaviour of the adherents with regards to Dear Leader. They are deranged in their love of Trump and thus have TDS.

My point stands.

And what he ignores is that most EV drivers do not even spend the 5 minutes as they do not need to make a specific stop to recharge in 99% of their commutes. It is done in their parking time at home or work or at Walmart/Costco, etc.

We all know that filling an ICE vehicle is not just the 5 minutes at the pump. It often involves waiting to get to the pump which in some cases greatly increases the time, especially by those willing to line up to save pennies at one location with a smallest of discounts. Guess who is driving by laughing at them all? The EV driver who laughs at the idea of 'gas discounts causing line ups'.
