Toyota’s Breakthrough in Solid-State Batteries Toyota has moved its focus to bringing solid-state batteries into mass production and ready for commercial use by 2027 or 2028 Toyota’s first solid-state battery is expected to offer a 621-mile driving range with an 80 percent fast charging time of just around 10 minutes
Can solid-state batteries commercialize by 2030? Automakers are increasingly focusing on the long-delayed promise of solid-state batteries With no liquid electrolyte, these batteries can be lighter, safer (with reduced fire risk), faster to recharge, and more energy dense while still being able to deliver ranges of 600 miles (965 km) or more
When will solid-state batteries enter commercial production? Based on the production timelines announced by manufacturers, it is expected that the solid-state battery market will enter the mass production phase from 2026 We have included a breakdown below of the major companies involved in solid-state battery development, the territories they are operating in, and the progress that has been made to date:
Next-Gen Batteries: Are Solid-State Cells Ready for . . . As of May 2025, several industry leaders have announced production timelines within the next 12-24 months, suggesting that solid-state batteries are on the cusp of commercial viability
Solid-state batteries for electric vehicles: Still in R D or . . . Despite the promising prospects of SSB technology, only a few solid-state battery cells have been commercialized The challenges lie not only in the material and cell concepts themselves, but especially in the production processes, some of which differ significantly from those of conventional lithium-ion batteries
Solid-state batteries: why mass production won’t happen . . . Solid-state batteries (SSBs) promise energy densities of 300–500 Wh kg, doubling the capacity of today’s lithium-ion batteries (150–250 Wh kg) This advancement could enable EVs to achieve 1,000+ km ranges on a single charge Manufacturing SSBs, however, remains complex and costly
Startup Gets Closer to Commercial Use of Solid State Batteries Stellantis and Factorial plan to integrate solid-state batteries into a demonstration fleet by 2026 Automaker Stellantis and battery manufacturing startup Factorial Energy (Factorial) took significant steps towards commercializing solid-state batteries for electric vehicles
