Toyota has just unveiled its roadmap for the new generation of batteries for electric cars, batteries that promise to be a disruptive innovation in the market with a combination of performance and autonomy never seen before.
Toyota is one of the most important companies in the automotive industry, and it is no wonder when it is developing technology to improve and support the functions, as well as the characteristics of electric cars.
It has recently been confirmed that the company is ready to revolutionize the market with the launch of a battery that offers an impressive range of 1,500 kilometers on a single charge. This advance places the company at the forefront of innovation in its sector.
Toyota’s new generation batteries closer than ever
The Japanese company has taken a big step towards the future of electric and sustainable mobility by officially presenting its ambitious strategy for BEV battery electric cars, also known as 100% electric.
In a press release, Toyota has not only shared its plans, but has also provided estimated dates for the launch of its next-generation batteries.which promise to revolutionize the market.

Improved liquid electrolyte batteries
One of the cornerstones of the Asian company’s strategy is high-performance liquid electrolyte batteries. They are scheduled to be introduced in next-generation Toyota electric cars in 2026.and are the brand’s response to the challenge of offering greater autonomy and longer charging times.
This means that the first electric car powered by the new batteries will debut on the market sooner than expected, a date that is not at all distant compared to the plans of other companies in the sector.
Regarding autonomy, This type of battery will offer a range of more than 800 kilometerswhich will be achieved through improvements in the aerodynamics and weight reduction of the car, in addition to the battery technology itself.
In the same way, they promise a 20% reduction in cost and charging time of just 20 minutes or less. In the end, you will be able to charge your Toyota BEV much more quickly and efficiently, which brings a satisfying thrill to all users who look forward to this type of technology.
Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries
Toyota not only seeks to offer electric cars with exceptional performance, in addition to that, it also wants to provide customers with a variety of battery options. This way, lithium iron phosphate batteriesPopularization) planned for 2026—2027are the answer to the search for diversity.
These batteries are made with Toyota’s bipolar technology, which was already present in other NiMh hybrid electric vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius. By combining this with low-cost lithium iron phosphate as the core material, a 20% increase in cruising range is expected to be achieved, while charging will be 30 minutes.
On the other hand, high-performance batteries are being developed, whose launch is scheduled for 2028. It has been confirmed that they will combine the bipolar structure with lithium ions and a high nickel cathode to achieve an impressive autonomy of up to 1,000 kilometers.
This is quite innovative on the company’s part, as they will far surpass previous models in terms of autonomy, as well as an additional 10% reduction in cost. Additionally, charging times will be just 20 minutes or less, which is impressive.
solid state batteries
However, Toyota’s crown jewel is its incredible solid-state batteries that will hit the market sometime in 2028. Internally, these batteries include a solid electrolyte, which allows them to charge and discharge faster, as well as provide more power in a smaller space.
It should be noted that the first electric car with a solid-state battery will offer a range of approximately 1,000 kilometers and charging times will be 10 minutes. Without a doubt, this technology will allow greater range, but above all greater durability.
The launch of Toyota’s next-generation batteries could have a significant impact on the electric mobility industry. Thanks to this development it could make the cars more attractive to a wider audience.
