Toyota has pushed back the mass production of its solid-state battery technology to 2030.
Previously, it was claimed that these batteries would power EVs with a range of 600 miles by 2027.
Initial production of these batteries will only power a small percentage of Toyota’s total production.
Toyota plans to launch its next generation of battery-powered cars by 2026, using liquid-based lithium-ion batteries.
These new cars are expected to offer over 497 miles of driving range.
Despite the delay in solid-state batteries, Toyota still aims to sell over three million EVs by 2030.

Ford is scaling back its $3.5 billion investment in a Michigan EV battery plant due to slower-than-expected EV demand.

Factors for this decision include demand, affordability, and business sustainability.

Hyundai Motors has launched a cutting-edge electric vehicle factory in Singapore that utilizes robotics, AI, and innovative manufacturing techniques to enhance efficiency, produce up to 30,000 vehicles each year, and make electric vehicles more affordable.
