Toytoa looks like it is making progress on making solid state batteries in production for it's cars in by 2020. THe solid state batteries have a number of advantages over the current technology.
1) Safer. The solid state batteries will no longer have the flamable liquids and won't have the fire issues.
2) Higher energy density. It should be able to hold double ` the current energy density of batteries being used now. Supposedly, that will give a 500 miles range on a charge.
3) Durability. The solid state battery estimated life expectancy will be 10 years, not 2 years.
4) It also charges 6 times faster than the current batteries.
There are also some advances in solid state batteries that will improve on the ones that Toyota will be using in 3 years that might make things even more effective.
