RE:Toyotas New American Battery Plant will need Nickel!Just in time for Crawford to come online followed by others. Remember solid state batteries still require nickel.
After that, Toyota plans a nickel-based bipolar lithium ion battery that will come to market around 2027 to 2028.
That battery will improve range by 10 percent over the 621-mile range planned for the next-generation lithium ion battery that arrives in 2026 and will cost 10 percent less.
Meanwhile, Toyota also plans two all-solid-state batteries for the second half of the decade. The first of the two will arrive around 2027 to 2028.
