Solid-State Batteries: The Game-Changer Powering a New Battery Revolution in 2025
Toyota claims its solid-state EV batteries will charge from 10% to 80% in about 10 minutes, with prototypes reaching energy densities of 450 Wh/kg. Volkswagen reported a solid-state cell retaining 95% capacity after 1,000 cycles. Production costs remain high at $800–$1000 per kWh. Toyota targets commercialization by 2027–2028, with mass production around 2030.
