Defeating Tesla: Toyota reveals the “mechanism” for mass production of all-solid-state batteries

According to the Sankei Shimbun on September 19th, Toyota Motor Corporation will hold a briefing session on production technology by the 19th, and will discuss the development line for “all-solid-state batteries,” which will be the core technology for next-generation electric vehicles (EVs), and the “Gigacast” technology. The company unveiled to the press for the first time a prototype of large-scale casting equipment using the new method. Armed with highly efficient mass production technology that combines new technology with Toyota’s manufacturing know-how such as “Karakuri” and “Takumi”, the company will compete with EV specialist Tesla and China’s BYD.

Transport pallets loaded with materials for different batteries flow at high speed on the upper and lower rails, and when the relative speed reaches a synchronized point of zero, the “claws” on the upper pallet that hold the materials in place move at a speed that cannot be followed by the eye. The pallet comes off, and at the perfect time the nail on the pallet below receives it and the materials overlap. The all-solid-state battery development site is located in a corner of Toyota’s Teiho Plant (Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture). A mass production method using magical, mechanical claws that operated without power was being tested. All-solid-state batteries, which are being developed with the aim of being put into practical use in 2020 or 2020 with the aim of being installed in next-generation EVs, have dramatically improved performance compared to conventional electrolyte-based in-vehicle batteries. This cutting-edge technology, which can extend the cruising range of EVs to more than 1,000 km, poses a major manufacturing challenge in ensuring that the positive electrode material, negative electrode material, and solid electrolyte layer that make up the battery are tightly adhered to each other without any gaps. Mass production involves the challenge of layering battery materials at high speed and with high precision without damaging the materials, but Toyota is solving this problem by applying traditional Japanese contraptions to automobile manufacturing. The simple mechanism, which does not require extra power or wiring, also leads to stable production.

■[World’s first] Features of plug-and-play household energy storage system

Maxxta PowerBaseX’Pro 4610W

3800W~7600W AC output

One PowerBaseX’Pro can supply up to 3,800W of power, and two connected units can supply up to 7,600W of power. This is enough electricity to power a typical home’s washing machine, dryer, heater, refrigerator, etc. The PowerBaseX’Pro rear wheel is electric, which helps lighten your load. Just pull the handle and you can carry it even on sloped roads.

6600w multi charge

PowerBaseX’Pro, which combines AC power and solar power, can charge up to 5,150W alone and 6,600W when connected to PowerBaseX’Plus. Whether you’re preparing for emergencies or using PowerBaseX’Pro to manage your home’s energy consumption, sooner isn’t always better.

3000w solar input

PowerBaseX’Pro can be charged up to 3,000W using solar power alone. This is enough to fully charge the device in 2-3 hours. Although we offer our own solar panels, PowerBaseX’Pro is compatible with a wide range of third-party solar panels from 12V to 150V and can be easily integrated into your existing solar system.
