Toyota solid-state battery will be mass-produced in 2030

According to foreign media reports, global car companies are chasing the electric transformation of vehicles, focusing on electric vehicles, while Toyota is committed to the development of hybrid-electric vehicles, and set it as the next 10 years priority research topics.

Shinzuo Abe, general manager of Toyota Power train Division, talked about Toyota's future strategy in an interview with Ward. Some interviews are as follows:

The proportion of hybrid vehicles in Japan and Europe will continue to grow. Considering the implementation of the new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions in 2025, the development of hybrid vehicles in the US market is also promising.

Toyota believes that hybrid cars will arrive earlier than pure electric vehicles. However, the company also believes that some European car models will shift from diesel to electric vehicles, skipping the hybrid car.

When it comes to the transition to pure electric vehicles, the biggest problem is lithium batteries, which involve problems such as cost, size, weight and attenuation. Secondly, it is the charging problem of the electric vehicle, and the vehicle enterprise needs to ensure the user's convenient operation in charging the electric vehicle.

As a car company, the company must consider its safety risks when introducing batteries. Battery fire is the most serious situation. Therefore, car companies need to conduct field tests on batteries, which can be divided into individual battery testing and vehicle battery testing.

Toyota expects to produce solid-state batteries after 2020, but it will have to wait until after 2030 to achieve mass production.
