RIGHT NOW, THE LUCID AIR HAS the longest range of any battery-electric vehicle (BEV) on the market. It can go 516 miles between charges according to Environmental Protection Agency estimates. But Toyota Motor Company recently said its cars may eventually go even further thanks to solid-state batteries. Future Toyotas, the car maker said, may be able to go 745 miles between charges and charge to capacity in as little as 10 minutes.
Toyota, like many other automakers, has tasked its engineers with looking further into the future than just the next electric vehicle (EV).
