Multiple different battery options will be offered, some focusing on performance, others on cost to keep basic EVs affordable
has been recently criticized for the weak range of its EV models in tests, but the Japanese carmaker could be about to go from the back of the pack to the front. The company has confirmed that its next-generation battery tech will begin appearing in production cars in 2026 and that we can expect around 500 miles between top-ups initially, and almost double that from later versions.
Like other companies including Ford and Tesla, Toyota has opted to create different battery kinds to suit different applications, much like it currently builds combustion engines with a variety of different specs and power outputs. Initially, there will be two: a Performance battery that uses li-ion tech for expensive cars, and a Popularisation battery employing lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry designed to keep entry-level EVs affordable.
Arriving in 2027-28 is a High-Performance li-ion battery that delivers a 10 percent cost saving over the first Performance battery. It takes the same 20 minutes to charge but promises over 612 miles of range, though that figure is only achieved from a vehicle optimized for slippery airflow and low curb weight.
Toyota is also working to reduce the thickness of its battery packs to improve interior comfort for passengers and shrink overall vehicle heights to improve aerodynamics, further improving efficiency. It says the battery in the current measures 150 mm including its casing, but that will drop to 120 mm for regular vehicles, and 100 mm in sports cars.
