Description
Toyota uses a variety of batteries depending on the type of vehicle. In conventional gasoline cars, Toyota uses standard 12-volt lead-acid batteries. For hybrid models like the Prius, Toyota uses Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. These hybrid batteries are designed for high efficiency and long life, often lasting 8–10 years or more.
Toyota is also investing heavily in solid-state battery technology for future electric vehicles (EVs), which promise faster charging, longer range, and improved safety. The company aims to be a leader in battery innovation to support its push toward carbon neutrality and sustainable mobility.
