BYD is launching a new Blade EV battery next year to power its next wave of vehicles. China’s EV giant confirmed the advanced batteries will unlock even more driving range for its next-gen electric cars. It’s been over four years since BYD’s battery unit FinDreams launched the first Blade battery in 2020.
Toyota confirmed plans to launch solid-state EV batteries with 10-minute fast charging and up to 750 miles (1,200 km) WLTP range to close the gap with Tesla. However, with the new EV battery tech still a few years out, Toyota could fall further behind. Toyota has been teasing solid-state EV battery tech for several years now.
After discovering a “technological breakthrough” in June, Toyota said it was accelerating development. In October, Toyota and Japanese oil giant Idemitsu Kosan announced they would develop and build solid-state EV batteries. The batteries are expected to begin rolling out in 2027, with mass production following.
China’s EV giant confirmed the advanced batteries will unlock even more driving range for its next-gen electric cars. It’s been over four years since BYD’s battery unit FinDreams launched the first Blade battery in 2020. The advanced LFP batteries propelled BYD to become one of the world’s largest EV and battery makers today.
From more efficient production to entirely new chemistries, there's a lot going on. The race is on to generate new technologies to ready the battery industry for the transition toward a future with more renewable energy. In this competitive landscape, it’s hard to say which companies and solutions will come out on top.
Now, Toyota plans to introduce them in 2027/2028, with mass production coming after 2030. By then, several companies will have already rolled out the tech. Volkswagen, Hyundai, Nissan, BMW, and others are also working to release solid-state battery tech.
