In the electric vehicle market, attention has primarily focused on Tesla's sales figures, rapidly growing charging networks, and aggressive marketing strategy. However, behind the scenes of the industry, a silent but strategic game is being set up, and one of the main players in this game is Toyota.
According to Milli.Az, while competitors are investing heavily in lithium-ion batteries and rapidly progressing, Toyota has chosen a different path. The company's leader, Akio Toyoda, clearly states that it is more appropriate to prepare for future technology rather than putting on a "show" with existing technology. For this reason, Toyota has directed its attention to the development of solid-state batteries.
According to experts, the limitation of lithium resources may cause a serious raw material crisis in the coming years. Toyota, having timely recognized this risk, has been secretly working for years on solid-state batteries that are safer, charge faster, and have high energy capacity. If this technology is successfully commercialized, it could fundamentally change the rules in the electric vehicle market.
Currently, Tesla appears as the "fast hare" and leader in the market. Toyota, on the other hand, patiently waits for the right moment as the "silent hunter."
