New Lexus LFA with GAME-CHANGING battery!

Toyota is working on some next-level electric car technology that could change the game forever… And it’s all to do with solid-state batteries!

But why is this technology so important? Well for starters, let’s take a look at lithium-ion batteries.

Any electric car on our roads in 2023 come including a lithium ion battery. And even though they’re included in any new electric car, they’re not exactly perfect. Not only are they super large, but they also lose a bit of capacity each time you charge them. Not only that, but they get hot when they’re being charged, and they only deliver peak power in a certain temperature window.

So that’s where solid-state batteries come in. They don’t have any of these issues, and their technology helps to prevent overheating. What’s more, whereas large lithium ion batteries can take hours to charge, solid-state batteries can charge much faster! They’re also smaller and lighter, and electric motors will be able to pull more power quickly - helping make cars powered by these batteries quicker!

So this technology sounds pretty futuristic, but Toyota has been working on it for over 10 years, and we may see solid state batteries sooner than you think! What’s more, this own’t just be in your standard family-friendly SUVs and saloons… It will also be included in an all-new, all-electric replacement for the Lexus LFA!!
