The company, which also builds engines and assembles cars for Toyota Motor Corp., has been making batteries for its forklifts for a decade. It introduced its first lithium-ion batteries last year.
Now the company is pondering a move to develop next-generation solid-state batteries for EVs, according to The Nikkei. Toyota Motor reportedly hopes to introduce such batteries in an all-electric vehicle by about 2022.
