Toyota has not said anything official. We will know when there is a specific factory making specific batteries for a specific model. And there is no need to rush when their production capacity is full. There is so much demand for hybrids.
@@ZeroNap It would be an opportunity loss if BEVs were profitable for automakers. Currently, most automakers lose money selling BEVs. There is no financial incentive to rush into BEVs.

Toyota sales have held up very well. Last year increased to 11.2M BUT in Toyota largest market, China, sales are dropping off a cliff as China is now over 50% EVs. This will drop in sales will be spreading to the rest of the world.
Toyota's largest and most important market in terms of volume and monetary value has always been North America. Of the 8.63 million units Toyota sold overseas in CY2023, 2.61 million was in North America. And China is not 50% BEVs. A significant portion of the "New Energy Vehicles" in China is Plug-in Hybrids. Most Chinese automakers actually don't money selling pure-BEVs in China. Chinese automakers are in a bloody race to the bottom to kill off the competition, foreign or domestic. Most foreign automakers would rather lose marketshare than sell cars at a loss. Toyota's Jan-Aug 2024 sales in China was around 1.08 million vehicles, which is down 10-15% from the same period of 2023. But because the Chinese government forced a 50-50 Joint-Venture with a State-owned-Enterprise, the financial impact is naturally half. And most Toyota cars sold in China are manufactured in JV factories in China, which means Chinese workers will be the most impacted from changes in sales trends.

This has intrigued me for quite a while now, here in NZ Toyota seem to be able to do no wrong, their hybrids are selling very well. This is ok for now, but it will drop off a cliff when full evs that have a decent range that is acceptable to modern day motorists, etc, etc, are available at a lower cost and with a longer warranty. I own an MG ev and it has been faultless for the last 2 years, I used to own a Toyota ute a few years ago, and it was great as well. We are going through the biggest upset in automotive industry since the model T put the horse and cart out of the race. To me here in NZ I think we will be driving around in Chinese utes and cars in the future. Why? because we do not have any local manufacturing in this arena, and we are close to China, and our trade depends on China, so we do not need to put up any trade barriers like the US and Europe etc.
I live in a much larger country USA, strange that you can’t get adequate range in New Zealand, but I can. I have a 2022 Tesla model three long range. I have owned 2.25 years and have 61,000 mi.s on it. At 73 years old August 2023 we drove 4000 miles.s round trip to Flagstaff Arizona in a little less than seven days.

You have to ask the question, why a solid state battery would be any better than one based on polymer electrolytes. Its similar to asking whether a ceramic cup is any better than a plastic cup. They are both cups, both do the job. The difference is the plastic one is lighter and cheaper. The functionality is the same, but the ceramic one is more expensive and could possibly be considered classier.

From what I understand the main barrier to solid state battery manufacturing the cost they may be able to produce a car that uses batteries but are they actually going to make a profit off of them? That’s the key thing? That’s the key thing facing legacy Auto they just can’t compete on the cost which Chinese And Koreans.
I don’t know what the global rankings for digital automakers is. I do know that Toyota is the biggest or second biggest car company in terms of vehicles sold, sales volume and capitalisation. Write them off at your peril. Tesla is largest by capitalisation but the price/earnings ratio is off the charts so arguably way overpriced. There is also the point that Toyota are not buying in to the EV vision or at least keeping their options open with hybrids until the picture is clearer. History may show they had a point.

Toyota can say what they want provided they have not failed in making a specific model by a specific date. The real question is do they have solid state batteries that allow them to break even or earn a profit.
A vehicle called COMS, which is equipped with Toyota's all-solid-state batteries, has been test driving on public roads in 2020. The patent for the all-solid-state battery using a sulfide solid electrolyte was jointly developed by the University of Tokyo and Toyota, and Toyota has obtained the main patent, but the battery is easily damaged without the patented materials of a company called Idemitsu. I can only make it. Also, people who claim that we are in the era of EVs are 30 years behind the times. Fixed hydrogen will become the mainstream power source in the future. In the first place, producing batteries generates a large amount of CO2, so there is no way to use green energy other than hydrogen.
@3:34, Toyota is still pushing NiNH because they own the patent and built a big factory that produces NiNH battery. Toyota doesn’t want to pay licensing fee to CATL for producing LiFePO4 batter -- because of pride, nationalism, of money.
The crazy part is that while they push the “lithium ion are bad for the environment” narrative, they’re all in on NiMH, which studies show has about twice the environmental impact of similarly sized Li-ion batteries. They’re full of crap top-to-bottom.
Toyota is ALSO making a hydrogen generating car that will end EVs. I know this because it’s on the internet. I guess it’ll be selling this winter in time for Christmas.
Another great video Sam. Toyota is probably the most infuriating company in the world in my opinion. I do have some right to that opinion as a Fellow of the UK Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Sam you have not even mentioned hydrogen cars, the other myth perpetuated by Toyota (I know you cover it in other videos). You say it makes no sense, and indeed it does not from a pure technology point of view, but when looked at from a business point if view it makes tonnes of sense. Toyota has been feeding these stories to the conservative motoring media, the conservative diving public and politicians for over 10 years. The stories are sucked up and regurgitated to us as truths, and the public believe it. Other legacy automakers hold onto the shirt tails of Toyota, politicians create trade barriers and all of them are able to go on sweating existing assets for another 5 years. A lifetime for the investment community that thinks on a 1 to 2 year horizon. This is exactly what it is all about. And it is working a treat. The motoring public who would not touch a hybrid 15 years ago is now buying them like hot cakes. Your point on the NiMH batteries sums it all up. Toyota make 26 or more hybrid models. The truth is that hybrids are the worst of both worlds. Over complicated, expensive, unreliable, poor EV tech, most not even much more efficient than a good ICE car. And of course the other companies that are only too happy with the Toyota fairy tails are the oil companies. The public defense of ICE cars is a mystery to me in this sense. The oil business sucks oil from the ground at $10 to $15 per barrel and sells it at $80. We all pay for that. Not just financially, but with global warming, and by noise and air pollution in our cities. EVs give motorists the chance to bypass the hated oil companies, run cars on wind or sun and never have to visit a forecourt ever again (except to pump tyres). But yet the public spurn this opportunity and repeat all the stories fed to them. The Japanese, American and German car companies (in that order) along with the world oil companies are happily churning out these myths and will continue for as long as they get away with it. Probably for another 5 years. But the tide is turning and they will all become flotsam by 2030.

Toyota has 2 EVs under development (SUV anda sports crossover). and they are not expected for years. Where are Toyota going to use the solid state batteries?
Toyota started developing their hybrids in 1992, so Toyota has had 32 years to develop EVs. In 2010 Toyota invested $50 million in TESLA and in a join venture with TESLA made the Rav4 EV. So, they have had FIRST ROW SEATS on how to make EVs with Elon Musk. Toyota sold their TESLA stock too early, missing out on making $1 billion in profit there. Toyota continues to push hydrogen. I saw a hydrogen bus in Tokyo. It cost $1 million . . . for 1 bus. Toyota the next Kodak.
I saw a H2 fuel cell bus 6 months ago - I live near the NEW FLYER factory and there are a FEW H2 FCEV busses a year they build / sell see way more battery electric / natural gas / LPG versions / Diesel hybrid
You should probably compare the Toyota road map to the CATL or BYD road map for batteries for comparison. It really shows how behind the times they are. I agree that by building a factory they could probably build a battery cheaper than they buy it for, but the sunk cost of that facility might decade decades to recover. So in reality, it isn't really cheaper at all. The incumbent ICE car makers are in real trouble. They are better off creating an EV SPV and dumping billions into it and let that compete while they figure out how to organize an orderly and profitable wind down on of ICE production. The "two timeline" strategy just never works.
When a Chinese company releases a PR statement about a fantasy battery you are all for it singing its praises. But if someone else does it its a Disney fantasy.
They should have just stayed with tailpipe cars until they hand something good. The bZ4x just tarnished the brand and cost them sales of profitable models.
Recently I got lots of RUclips recommended videos about Toyota CEO announced break through in their engine technology that will wipe out the entire EV industry... There are so many of those channels..but all of them seems new with only few hundred subscribers tops... Look like they engaged in some propaganda to prop up their share price 😂
NOT AGAIN what will it be next week. I was told 1. Don't believe a word Toyota say 2. Believe Toyota only when they manufacturer it for mass production
1000 miles is no where near enough for me, unless it charges in 2 minutes and the chargers are as convenient as gas pumps, and then range is a non issue.
Toyota will be coming out with some pretty good stuff and there’s no shame taking your time. They are making money still and also satisfying many happy customers in the meantime with their hybrids. I know they’re far from perfect company, but to make them look bad, like you do is really uncalled for and therefore I do not press the thumbs up button when you put down companies like this… these batteries are no doubt going to be very impressive!
A problème with solid state battery it s their life cycle and barely no one is focus on it. High Energy density IS not thé only Factor,.... life cycle matter and they are no where near
What exactly is suppoed to be the benefits of Solid State batteries? It should have higher energy density up to 1440 Wh/kg, less flammable faster charging and longer life. If this is the case why waste time on hydrogen
It's simply impossible to replace all cars and trucks with BEVs. There isn't enough batteries nor electricity to make that happen. Thus, hydrogen research is for post-hybrid era when oil and nat gas is phased out from the industry/economy. Companies like Toyota think in decades. FYI, hybrid research started in the 1970s during the last Oil Crisis, and Toyota started designing its Prius in 1992 with the improvement in rechargeable battery technology. The research is why Toyota can offer hybrid vehicles around the same cost as regular vehicles. Fast forward to 2024, now 40-50% of new car sales for Toyota and Honda are hybrids.
@@yo2trader539No they did not. California has problems with wildfires and old power transmission lines (that should have been upgraded but PG&E spent it on bonuses and stock buybacks… yes it’s privatized and publicly traded). When conditions made wildfires more likely (severe drought + extreme temperatures), they did not require… just asked people to be mindful of when they charged (better rates at night anyway) and raise their thermostats to reduce A/C usage. Sometime rolling brown outs were used to mitigate fire risk caused by the old, hot high voltage transmission lines during a severe drought. Again… not a power shortage, a wildfire prevention measure.
I would guess if toyota buy and take control of the panasonic battery that will enable them to keep a lid on the "solid state battery" lie. If I head it right in 2027 toyota will release 3 different types of batteries. why? if solid state is the holy grail why release two other lesser types of batteries?
What you won't give credit for is that Toyota's prediction that EVs won't take more than 30% of market share of combined EVs and ICE car sales is a lot closer to the truth than what taxpayer funded governments originally forecasted.

A vehicle called COMS, which is equipped with Toyota's all-solid-state batteries, has been test driving on public roads in 2020.
The patent for the all-solid-state battery using a sulfide solid electrolyte was jointly developed by the University of Tokyo and Toyota, and Toyota has obtained the main patent, but the battery is easily damaged without the patented materials of a company called Idemitsu. I can only make it.
Also, people who claim that we are in the era of EVs are 30 years behind the times. Fixed hydrogen will become the mainstream power source in the future.
In the first place, producing batteries generates a large amount of CO2, so there is no way to use green energy other than hydrogen.
Toyota is great with bang bang piston technology but they have no idea what electrons are. Definitely not at the moment!
We're behind everyone but Honda in EV technology, what can we do?
Hyperloop it!
Another 'game changer'.
@3:34, Toyota is still pushing NiNH because they own the patent and built a big factory that produces NiNH battery. Toyota doesn’t want to pay licensing fee to CATL for producing LiFePO4 batter -- because of pride, nationalism, of money.
The crazy part is that while they push the “lithium ion are bad for the environment” narrative, they’re all in on NiMH, which studies show has about twice the environmental impact of similarly sized Li-ion batteries. They’re full of crap top-to-bottom.
Toyota is ALSO making a hydrogen generating car that will end EVs. I know this because it’s on the internet. I guess it’ll be selling this winter in time for Christmas.
👍👍
Well done Toyota burn more cash than before
It is not the staff, but the senior management, older Japanese generations are extremely stubborn
Surely GM rivals Toy in terms of false promises.
Hehe.. it’s neck and neck
True, but Tesla ofter over-promises and under delivers or delivers 6 years after promised. They just started on evs much sooner.
Didn’t Nio already do this?
wow... it's 1930 and I'm waiting for an LS engine with a super charger...THATs when we'll a horseless cartage
Another great video Sam. Toyota is probably the most infuriating company in the world in my opinion. I do have some right to that opinion as a Fellow of the UK Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
Sam you have not even mentioned hydrogen cars, the other myth perpetuated by Toyota (I know you cover it in other videos).
You say it makes no sense, and indeed it does not from a pure technology point of view, but when looked at from a business point if view it makes tonnes of sense. Toyota has been feeding these stories to the conservative motoring media, the conservative diving public and politicians for over 10 years. The stories are sucked up and regurgitated to us as truths, and the public believe it. Other legacy automakers hold onto the shirt tails of Toyota, politicians create trade barriers and all of them are able to go on sweating existing assets for another 5 years. A lifetime for the investment community that thinks on a 1 to 2 year horizon.
This is exactly what it is all about. And it is working a treat. The motoring public who would not touch a hybrid 15 years ago is now buying them like hot cakes. Your point on the NiMH batteries sums it all up. Toyota make 26 or more hybrid models.
The truth is that hybrids are the worst of both worlds. Over complicated, expensive, unreliable, poor EV tech, most not even much more efficient than a good ICE car.
And of course the other companies that are only too happy with the Toyota fairy tails are the oil companies. The public defense of ICE cars is a mystery to me in this sense. The oil business sucks oil from the ground at $10 to $15 per barrel and sells it at $80. We all pay for that. Not just financially, but with global warming, and by noise and air pollution in our cities. EVs give motorists the chance to bypass the hated oil companies, run cars on wind or sun and never have to visit a forecourt ever again (except to pump tyres). But yet the public spurn this opportunity and repeat all the stories fed to them.
The Japanese, American and German car companies (in that order) along with the world oil companies are happily churning out these myths and will continue for as long as they get away with it. Probably for another 5 years. But the tide is turning and they will all become flotsam by 2030.

Whenever I see lab personnel staring at test tubes and generally doing phony lab work, I know the company is useless
Toyota has 2 EVs under development (SUV anda sports crossover). and they are not expected for years. Where are Toyota going to use the solid state batteries?
BI Live said the solid state batteries are for the Prius.😅😂
Hmmm you are talking about the company that also claims that hydrogen will take over but is doing nothing about getting the hydrogen to market
Toyota started developing their hybrids in 1992, so Toyota has had 32 years to develop EVs. In 2010 Toyota invested $50 million in TESLA and in a join venture with TESLA made the Rav4 EV. So, they have had FIRST ROW SEATS on how to make EVs with Elon Musk. Toyota sold their TESLA stock too early, missing out on making $1 billion in profit there. Toyota continues to push hydrogen. I saw a hydrogen bus in Tokyo. It cost $1 million . . . for 1 bus. Toyota the next Kodak.
I saw a H2 fuel cell bus 6 months ago - I live near the NEW FLYER factory and there are a FEW H2 FCEV busses a year they build / sell
see way more battery electric / natural gas / LPG versions / Diesel hybrid
You should probably compare the Toyota road map to the CATL or BYD road map for batteries for comparison. It really shows how behind the times they are. I agree that by building a factory they could probably build a battery cheaper than they buy it for, but the sunk cost of that facility might decade decades to recover. So in reality, it isn't really cheaper at all. The incumbent ICE car makers are in real trouble. They are better off creating an EV SPV and dumping billions into it and let that compete while they figure out how to organize an orderly and profitable wind down on of ICE production. The "two timeline" strategy just never works.
Japan VS China same with USA VS China they dont want there "core" components to be sourced from China and that alone is worth the sunk costs
When a Chinese company releases a PR statement about a fantasy battery you are all for it singing its praises. But if someone else does it its a Disney fantasy.
They should have just stayed with tailpipe cars until they hand something good. The bZ4x just tarnished the brand and cost them sales of profitable models.
Toyota s own Clean Diesel under development
Recently I got lots of RUclips recommended videos about Toyota CEO announced break through in their engine technology that will wipe out the entire EV industry... There are so many of those channels..but all of them seems new with only few hundred subscribers tops... Look like they engaged in some propaganda to prop up their share price 😂
NOT AGAIN what will it be next week. I was told 1. Don't believe a word Toyota say 2. Believe Toyota only when they manufacturer it for mass production
1000 miles is no where near enough for me, unless it charges in 2 minutes and the chargers are as convenient as gas pumps, and then range is a non issue.
There trying to maintain that maintenance goldmine with disposable batteries like Duracell and energizer😅
It’s all smoke and mirrors 😂.
Toyota seem to constantly make vapourware announcements. Pump and dump anyone? That is what it sounds like.
Every conservative I know believes it
Don’t Toyota see the future as Hydrogen Fuel Cells?
They sell 1 mln cars a month now, almost 12 mln a year. I think they do something right?
That’s an awful lot
of unnecessary pollution.😢
I thought their Hail Mary has been hydrogen
Reminds me of tesla`s Robo taxi the were supposed to be on the road in 2020 or the $40,000 criber truck.
Toyota lost touch with reality a long time ago.
You just gotta scale it dawg…
Kaizen forever, this not JIT but JAJ (just a joke)
rip toyota
Toyota are talking BS
I thought that Toyota were hanging their hat on Hydrogen?
Toyota will be coming out with some pretty good stuff and there’s no shame taking your time. They are making money still and also satisfying many happy customers in the meantime with their hybrids. I know they’re far from perfect company, but to make them look bad, like you do is really uncalled for and therefore I do not press the thumbs up button when you put down companies like this… these batteries are no doubt going to be very impressive!
A new age woke type of Disney tale or an old school og still somewhat wholesome Disney tale? 😀
Toyota where dreams are……made…. Eventually….Maybe
In ten years Toyota will be half as good as todays car makers
A problème with solid state battery it s their life cycle and barely no one is focus on it.
High Energy density IS not thé only Factor,.... life cycle matter and they are no where near
What exactly is suppoed to be the benefits of Solid State batteries?
It should have higher energy density up to 1440 Wh/kg, less flammable faster charging and longer life.
If this is the case why waste time on hydrogen
Flight
It's simply impossible to replace all cars and trucks with BEVs. There isn't enough batteries nor electricity to make that happen. Thus, hydrogen research is for post-hybrid era when oil and nat gas is phased out from the industry/economy.
Companies like Toyota think in decades. FYI, hybrid research started in the 1970s during the last Oil Crisis, and Toyota started designing its Prius in 1992 with the improvement in rechargeable battery technology. The research is why Toyota can offer hybrid vehicles around the same cost as regular vehicles. Fast forward to 2024, now 40-50% of new car sales for Toyota and Honda are hybrids.
Lol. Theres too much electricity that power companies are going to start penalising people for sending electricity to the grid.@yo2trader539
@@tysonfinn1470 It really depends on where you live. I remember when California warned of not charging due to power shortages.
@@yo2trader539No they did not. California has problems with wildfires and old power transmission lines (that should have been upgraded but PG&E spent it on bonuses and stock buybacks… yes it’s privatized and publicly traded). When conditions made wildfires more likely (severe drought + extreme temperatures), they did not require… just asked people to be mindful of when they charged (better rates at night anyway) and raise their thermostats to reduce A/C usage. Sometime rolling brown outs were used to mitigate fire risk caused by the old, hot high voltage transmission lines during a severe drought. Again… not a power shortage, a wildfire prevention measure.
I would guess if toyota buy and take control of the panasonic battery that will enable them to keep a lid on the "solid state battery" lie. If I head it right in 2027 toyota will release 3 different types of batteries. why? if solid state is the holy grail why release two other lesser types of batteries?
bZ4x was not a good effort. should have has a EV rav4.
2020 year of Toyota hydrogen and solid state battery cars
They didn't sue you because they don't know you exist.
Toyota never says NO, they prefer to say " we study".
Are they a university??? or a business??? Or heading to bankruptcy????
Sad to see
You just hate Toyota soooo much I`m going to buy a corolla Truck because much cheaper than the BYD shark not sold in the U.S,.
Aim high……..🤣
What you won't give credit for is that Toyota's prediction that EVs won't take more than 30% of market share of combined EVs and ICE car sales is a lot closer to the truth than what taxpayer funded governments originally forecasted.
just looking at Toyota's chart and they are way off with the pixies already.....
Toyota is amazing,Game over for Tesla!
