The Japanese carmaker had earlier hinted towards Solid-State batteries during the launch of the Beyond Zero mobility concept. The new Solid-state batteries are expected to power at least one car by 2025 as per the brand's claims. Toyota also shared that it will be rolling out this battery in Hybrid vehicles and has made a prototype. This prototype model features a solid-state battery for testing this new technology in real-world situations. Solid-state batteries can be a great alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion battery consists of two electrodes placed at far ends while the cavity is filled with a liquid electrolyte solution. The solid-state batteries also use the same two-electrode setup but the liquid electrolyte is replaced by a solid electrolyte. While solid-state is not a completely new technology, they do have a lot of advantages over standard lithium-ion batteries. For starters, the solid-state batteries are not only significantly smaller but can also store more charge, hence giving it a longer range to the vehicles.
