Toyota's New Battery Achieves 932 Mile Range

Toyota, renowned as the world’s largest car company, has often been perceived as an anti-EV automaker due to its cautious approach and reluctance to embrace the EV revolution.

Toyota maintained its course to focus on alternative options or rather specifically saying hydrogen path for its automobility future.  

Instead of succumbing to the hype surrounding these vehicles, Toyota has consistently maintained its stance, emphasizing the need for battery technology to reach a certain stage before committing to the electric path.

However, recent revelations from the company’s “Let’s Change the Future of Cars” workshop suggest a shift in perspective.

After being called an EV-skeptic for ages, they’ve finally shouted from the rooftops that they’re ready to join the party. Cue the confetti cannons and the techno beats because Toyota is projecting that by 2026, the long-awaited stage for electric vehicles will finally be here.

Get this: their battery-powered beauties are expected to cruise an eye-popping range of 932 miles (1,500 kilometers) by 2028. Oh, and here’s the kicker—giga castings!

Yes, you heard it right. Toyota is now jumping on the Tesla train with their own Giga castings, proving that even the biggest skeptics can’t resist a little electric charm.

In light of these revelations, let us delve deeper into Toyota’s evolving stance and the significant implications it holds for the future of electric mobility.    READ MORE...

Polution Caused From Manufacturing EV Batteries

As the world grapples with climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydropower is gaining momentum.

Tesla has been the front-runner in the race for environmentally friendly EVs. However, this shift to cleaner energy will require vast amounts of minerals, to produce batteries. Many of these are currently obtained through mining, which can have significant environmental and social impacts.

These minerals will need to be extracted, processed, and manufactured into batteries and magnets to power electric vehicles, among other applications. With the amount of mining and manufacturing involved in producing these components, there is a growing debate over whether Tesla electric vehicles are truly cleaner than their gas-powered counterparts.

This post will examine this issue in-depth and explore the research done in the field in terms of Tesla battery production and carbon footprints. Read on!

How Tesla Battery Production Is Causing Pollution?

It is a widely discussed topic that the production of electric car batteries, such as those used in Tesla vehicles, can have a significant carbon footprint. In fact, it has been reported that the production of an electric car battery can release as much CO2 emissions as driving a gasoline-powered car for 8 years.

This is largely due to the fact that the production of electric car batteries requires the mining and processing of materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. These materials are often extracted through energy-intensive processes, and the manufacturing process itself requires significant amounts of energy.  READ MORE...
