Toyota: Unveiled the world’s first all-solid-state battery vehicle:
-Invest 1.5 trillion yen in batteries until 2030-
“JoongAng Ilbo” (September 8th):
Toyota has released the developed all-solid-state battery vehicle on the official YouTube channel.
In June last year, it had already developed a prototype vehicle equipped with an all-solid-state battery.
Toyota added an English explanation that “it was the world’s first all-solid-state battery vehicle and also obtained a formal license plate.”
All-solid-state battery patent:
Toyota has more than 1000 patents for all-solid-state batteries.
It accounts for 40% of all solid-state battery related patents in the world.
Korean battery industry:
It is very difficult to avoid Toyota’s patents and develop all-solid-state batteries.
Japanese material manufacturer:
In Japan, there are many material manufacturers that support this.
Hitachi Zosen,
Sanyo Kasei,
Mitsui Kinzoku,
Furukawa Machinery Metals,
JX Nippon Mining & Metals,
Nippon Electric Glass,
Idemitsu Kosan, etc.
Companies representing Japan are lined up.

Held a briefing session on Toyota’s battery strategy
On September 7, Toyota held a briefing session on carbon neutrality.
Toyota to introduce all-solid-state batteries from hybrid vehicles considering their characteristics
With the introduction of mass-produced vehicles in the first half of the 2020s, the total investment related to batteries is 1.5 trillion yen.
Toyota’s battery strategy will be developed until 2030 toward carbon neutrality.
Development status of all-solid-state batteries:
In June 2020, an all-solid-state battery vehicle was manufactured.
Obtained a number for vehicles equipped with all-solid-state batteries in August 2020.
Toyota revealed that he had already conducted a test run.
Characteristics of all-solid-state battery:
There is something we have learned from the development of all-solid-state batteries.
All-solid-state battery has high output:
Since ions move at high speed in the battery, high output can be expected.
All-solid-state batteries have a short lifespan:
On the other hand, we also found the problem of short life.
Material development of solid electrolyte:
In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to continue the development of materials for solid electrolytes.
