When the solid-state batteries are released in 2027 or 2028, Toyota says the batteries will give their EVs an impressive 745 miles of range, surpassing the record-setting Lucid Air’s 520-mile range. Additionally, Toyota’s technology will be able to reduce charging times down to only 10 minutes.

Eventually, the automakers will release a second-generation solid-state battery that will increase its EV’s range even more with a 932-mile range and charging times of less than 10 minutes.

    I think it’s more likely they’ll use this tech to produce vehicles with physically smaller batteries that can get 400-500 miles of range.

    I don’t think the majority of people are in search of something that can go 800 miles without stopping.

      Imagine putting that tech into a work truck. One that’s hauling around a load of compost all day.

        Will definitely be huge improvement for range in commercial vehicles hauling heavy loads. Can k ly imagine the cost though.
