Toyota's announced they'll be using solid state batteries in their production EVs before the end of the decade.
Toyota's been promising that solid state batteries are just around the corner for about 13 years now. They keep bumping the goalposts back every few years.
The first solid state battery was demonstrated in a lab in 1986, the first potentially viable chemistry was demonstrated in a lab in 2011, and Toyota began sinking money into it 2012. They have now spent 13.6 Billion on developing and trying by to scale up solid state batteries over the last twelve years, and are hoping to have a first release in 2027, sixteen years after the initial chemistry was first developed.
