As electric vehicles (EVs) gain popularity, Toyota is taking a bold move that promises to shake up the entire sector. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA has gotten some news from the automaker that we’re excited to share with our sustainably conscious customers: a brand-new battery that will make electric vehicles even more popular.
Currently, Toyota is working on a new solid-state battery that delivers both longer range and faster charging. We’re talking being able to go 750 miles on a single charge then juicing up the battery in under 10 minutes. A recent poll reveals that many drivers are still anxious about range, opting for gas-powered cars for trips over 250 miles. Knowing your EV can go the distance on longer trips will be a game-changer for more eco-friendly vehicles.
That same poll also cites consumer frustration over the amount of time it currently takes to charge an EV. Toyota’s new battery will change all that, delivering a full charge in just minutes. In the meantime, they’re adapting charging ports on their vehicles to make them compatible with the 12,000 Tesla charging stations around the country. That provides Toyota EV and hybrid customers with tons more opportunities to alleviate their “range anxiety.”
Currently, Toyota is planning to have its new solid-state EV battery ready for the 2027 and 2028 model years, although they’re pushing hard to deliver sooner if possible. This new development is generating a lot of technology buzz, and its Toyota that’s at the forefront!
Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield offers a full line of Toyota EVs and hybrids, like the popular Prius, Toyota Crown, and Tundra i-Force Max. Come on in to see how you can drive smarter and more sustainably, saving money on gas and reducing dangerous emissions. And know that Toyota is always working to make electric vehicles the go-to for people who care about our planet (and their wallet).
