Toyota: Solid-State Batteries Likely to Arrive in 2030 | WardsAuto
Roger Schreffler
May 21, 2018

Q: Switching to pure EVs, what is the biggest problem moving forward?

Shinzuo Abe, general manager of Toyota’s powertrain division: For me personally, it is the battery including cost, size, weight and deterioration characteristics.

Q: That’s lithium-ion batteries?

Abe: Yes. The second problem is charging. We need to make it possible for users to charge their cars with no inconvenience.

Q: Could you go through the battery cost numbers, then, for an EV with a 400-km or 250-mile range?

Abe: For an EV to have a cruising distance of 400 km (250 miles), it would probably need a 40-50 kWh battery depending on the size and weight of the car. For a compact car like the Prius, 40 kWh is probably enough.

For the sake of this discussion, if batteries cost ¥20/wH ($0.18/Whr), multiply that by 40,000 or 50,000 times and you get ¥800,000 or ¥1 million ($7,338 or $9,173). If the battery is ¥30/wH ($0.28), then the cost would increase to ¥1.2 million or ¥1.5 million ($9,173 or $13,760).

If we expect costs to fall by half in 2025, which is a difficult target, it won’t necessarily lead to volume sales of pure-electric cars. It is not so simple as the cost of batteries coming down. The cars themselves must appeal to consumers.

Q: We were led to believe that Toyota will introduce solid-state batteries in the early 2020 period. Many observers do not believe that is possible and that a more realistic timeframe is 2030.

Abe: Yes, we did say we are starting this initiative and want to make solid-state batteries available in the early part of the 2020s decade. But in fact, that won’t be on a mass-production basis. We will begin with small-lot and trial production. We would never experiment on customers. Like you said, 2030 might be a more realistic timeframe.

government says it wants to lower pollution in the metro? let them show their fervor by giving tax breaks to electric cars.

Last time I checked wala pa din firm rules ang LTO on electric cars...

these rules are not really that new.
they are simply being re-iterated, because of recent questions regarding electric bikes.
napakarami na sa lansangan, at pasaway pa ang iba. may nagtanong kung dapat i-rehistro sila, at kung dapat may lisensiya ang mga nagmamaneho nito.
well, apparently, "dapat".
but so far, i see no real action from the authorities.

but there have been changes.
in the 60s, gas-powered two-wheelers whose engine displacement were below a certain volume, were still exempt from LTO.
and electric vehicles then, were considered toys and not "real motor vehicles".

The Youtube link I posted was just from last year (ABS CBN's Bandila)... PHL Tesla owners can't use their cars in public roads since they can't be registered

(if video doesn't show up, try this)

so it's 2018...

Has LTO finalized their rules on electric cars?

I believe current laws only allow's electric vehicles with a max speed of 60kmh.
