TOYOTA, Honda: The core of competitiveness “All-solid-state battery”:
-Japan regains Chinese and Korean forces-
All-solid-state battery / development competition:
The competition to develop all-solid-state batteries, the most promising candidate for next-generation batteries, is fierce.
Automotive industry:
Toyota Motor and Nissan Motor announced the practical application in the 2020s.
Volkswagen and other independents follow this.
Nissan:
Invested 140 billion yen in the development of all-solid-state batteries.
2024
Introduced a test line at the Yokohama factory and established mass production technology.
2028
We plan to introduce an EV equipped with an all-solid-state battery.
Gupta COO
“We will gradually spread all-solid-state batteries to Renault, France and Mitsubishi Motors.”
Simplifying the cooling mechanism reduces battery costs to $ 65 per kilowatt hour.
Toyota:
Early 2020s
Aim for practical use of all-solid-state batteries in HV.
2020
We have reached the stage where we can carry out driving tests and acquire driving data.
The “Lexus” is equipped with an all-solid-state battery to achieve high-performance EV.
Honda:
2021
On the demonstration line, we started to verify the production technology of all-solid-state batteries.
Late 2020s
We will proceed with research toward installing EVs in all-solid-state batteries.
VW:
Plans to establish an all-solid-state battery production line with Quantumscape in the United States by 2025.
German BMW
Ford Motors, USA
Accelerate the development of all-solid-state batteries by leveraging collaboration, such as investing in US Solid Power.
Korea LG Chem
China CATL
Major battery manufacturers are also working on the development of all-solid-state batteries.
The hurdles for practical use of all-solid-state batteries are high for both companies.
Currently, we are devoting ourselves to strengthening the liquid-based LIB business.
Challenges for all-solid-state batteries:
Toyota
Maeda Executive Officer
The problem that all-solid-state batteries have a short life has been found.
Shows the intention to continue developing materials for solid electrolytes.
In addition, the establishment of mass production technology is also an issue, as strict moisture control is required in terms of production.
R & D project
Green Innovation Fund
By improving the performance of storage batteries,
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing,
The flow leading up to recycling,
It is ready to be built ahead of each country.
