Toyota Electric Battery

Last September, Toyota announced plans for their improved lithium-ion batteries, as well as a "breakthrough" in solid-state battery technology. It's notable, because the company had been resisting its transition to electric vehicles (EVs), focusing instead on hybrids and vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Toyota is still on track to launch its first solid-state battery-powered vehicle within the next two to three years.

An executive confirmed Toyota's timeline at the Tokyo Motor Show this week. Toyota's solid-state EV batteries could last 40 years, offer 621 mile range, and be smaller, lighter, and cheaper by 2027. Toyota plans to launch a line of cars featuring the new solid-state battery in 2027 or 2028, company representatives said in a statement.

(Nov. 12, 2025) - Toyota supercharged its multi-pathway approach to global vehicle electrification with the highly anticipated start of production at its all-new battery plant in Liberty, North Carolina. It is Toyota's eleventh U.S.

plant and the company's first and only battery plant outside of Japan. The nearly $14 billion facility will create up to 5,100 new American jobs. The first working battery-electric version of Toyota's Hilux pickup is no longer a design study or a concept on a turntable.

It is a production-bound truck with real numbers, real compromises. Toyota says its breakthrough batteries will hit the market in 2027 or 2028, giving its EVs 745 miles of range.
