The solid-state battery lasts more than 1000 kilometers -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
Toyota was the first to play with hybrid vehicles, and it was also the first to launch hydrogen fuel vehicles, but these two roads are difficult to work in China. Toyota's hybrid vehicles do not belong to the new energy vehicle catalogue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and hydrogen fuel vehicles are even more difficult to popularize. Come. Recently, Japanese media reported that Toyota and Panasonic signed a strategic agreement to enter pure electric vehicles.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
It can be seen that Toyota will go beyond plug-in hybrid vehicles and directly launch pure electric vehicles, and Japanese media revealed that Toyota will use solid-state batteries as vehicle power lithium batteries. In fact, as early as 2010, Toyota had built a solid-state battery vehicle, but it could not be mass-produced because the cost was too horrible.
At present, the mainstream power lithium battery is a ternary lithium-ion battery. Taking TSLA as an example, the cruising range is about 500 kilometers, while the battery life of the solid-state battery vehicle built by Toyota in 2010 has exceeded 1,000 kilometers. This is because the energy density of the solid-state battery is More than twice that of ternary lithium-ion batteries.
However, the cost of solid-state batteries is too high to form a commercial scale. Assuming that a smartphone uses a solid-state battery, the cost will reach 15,000 US dollars, or about 100,000 yuan. It is conceivable that a solid-state battery used in a car costs. Not less than a million.
However, the advantages of solid-state batteries are very significant, such as small size, light weight, bendability, no danger of short circuits, and high energy density. Toyota has made it clear that the purpose of joining forces with Panasonic is to solve the battery problem. If the cost of solid-state batteries can be reduced and commercialized in mass production within five years, it will subvert the electric vehicle industry.
