NAGOYA, Japan -- Toyota Motor aims to release an electric vehicle powered by an all-solid-state battery as early as 2027, with the technology expected to more than double the car's range from a single charge.

The Japanese automaker revealed the plans in a recent briefing at a research base in Shizuoka prefecture. The technology is expected to be commercialized in 2027 or 2028.
