[Toyota plans to mass-produce solid-state batteries in 2025 but faces multiple challenges] Toyota is working through the company's Prime Planet Energy&Solutions Inc, a joint venture with Panasonic. To develop the solid-state battery, the joint venture opened in April and now employs about 5100 people, including 2400 from its Chinese subsidiary. One of the tasks of the joint venture is to manufacture and sell solid-state batteries for cars. Toyota is still on track to achieve a limited amount of production by 2025, Kaita said. Due to the small scale of production, the initial cost of these solid-state batteries will be higher than that of lithium-ion batteries. He speculates that the production of such solid-state batteries will remain very low for the first few years of production. To compete with the internal combustion engine power system, the cost of such batteries must fall to well below $100 per kilowatt-hour, he said.
