Toyota’s 14 Billion Electric Car Battery Level-Up

Toyota has supported electric vehicles since it produced the Prius in 1997. However, throughout the recent years, Orlando Toyota has focused on pushing and perfecting its hybrid cars, leaving its pure electric models to be put on a stall. The automotive industry has taken many steps towards electric vehicles, with advancements and investments in electric car batteries. We can expect the future of the automotive industry to have more electric car representation as the automotive industry pushes towards this change in the game. Toyota even announced its goal is to be carbon neutral by 2050. 

Orlando Toyota had hesitation to fully invest in BEVs since the infrastructure for electric car batteries didn’t make it sustainable. However, with plans to push towards better infrastructure for electric cars, Orlando Toyota has also made a step towards the provision announcing an investment of $14 billion by 2030 in developing batteries and the underlying supply chain. Toyota has a solid plan to speed towards its competition and reach a good place in the race to the best electric cars.

What can we expect from this investment in Electric car battery tech? 

New Orlando electric car solid-state batteries

• These batteries are the next advancement of lithium-ion technology. 

• This technology will be more easily produced. 

• The new battery life will last for a longer time than the batteries available today. So, you can expect lower maintenance for your Toyota car. 

• Their overall charge will last longer in these electric car batteries, which will result in less time spent charging your electric car. 

Toyota’s plan to efficiently integrate and upgrade its Electric Cars

• Toyota will be developing a solid-state battery by securing 200 gigawatt-hours of battery supply from now to 2030. 

• We can expect to roll out 15 dedicated BEVs, 7 of which will include the “Beyond Zero” moniker and around 70 electrified models globally.

• The introduction of the majority of these new electric cars will go to the public by 2025.

• The follow-up of the new solid-state battery technology is looking to be introduced by 2030. 

The production efforts for electric car batteries are only becoming more efficient. We can expect to see this technology in many new upcoming Orlando Toyota models. The production investment estimates a 30% reduction in overall cost through less consumption of costly materials and production structures. 

Orlando Toyota’s fully electric car concept, the bZ4X, is expected to arrive sometime in 2022 

We are unsure whether the earlier iterations of the Orlando bZ4X will include a solid-state lithium-ion battery or if new hybrids will include the updated battery technology. Regardless, Toyota’s plan guarantees a foothold in the movement towards electric vehicles. Remember to follow Toyota of Orlando for updates on the latest electric car news.
