Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announced today that the development and production plans for its next-generation batteries (performance version) and all-solid-state batteries were certified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) as part of the Japanese government''s "Supply Assurance Plan for Batteries."
Toyota’s all-solid-state EV battery plans officially gained approval from Japan’s Ministry of Trade and Industry (METI). The certification gives Toyota the green light to develop and build next-gen EV batteries as part of Japan’s plans to boost domestic supply.
The battery industry is an equipment-intensive industry requiring large-scale investments in significant facilities. To maintain and enhance manufacturing capabilities and technologies within Japan's battery industry, which includes equipment industries and material manufacturers, government support is provided.
Toyota is among several companies in Japan investing a total of $7 billion (1 trillion yen) to boost domestic battery production. Japan aims to secure a stable supply of batteries as it shifts away from dependence on China or South Korea, which dominate the market.
Several companies around the globe continue to develop solid-state batteries, but major issues in scalability remain due to high costs and limited capacities. With that said, the manufacturer plans to double the battery’s capacity by 2025. To that note, it says it has already begun small production of a prototype.
SoftBank and Enpower Japan will continue research and development to increase the capacity of next-generation batteries, aiming to achieve specific energy of 400 Wh/kg in 2024 fiscal year, and then, in 2026 fiscal year, increase the battery life to more than 1000 cycles.
As for next-generation batteries which support an evolution of BEVs, Idemitsu has been working on research & development on elemental technologies for all-solid-state batteries since 2001, while Toyota started in 2006.
