According to foreign media reports, with the development and maturity of battery technology, Toyota may introduce a pure electric version of the new Prius.

2017 Toyota Prius

Before the 2017 Prius was officially released, Toyota Japanese researchers said that they have mastered the new technology to maintain the stability of lithium-ion batteries, which will not only upgrade the pure electric range of their new cars, but also plan to adjust the market strategy. Plans to introduce a variety of pure electric vehicles.

According to Toyota insiders, Toyota can increase the battery capacity without increasing the cost while maintaining the stability of lithium-ion battery. For example, the 2017 Prius is equipped with the latest lithium battery in pure electric mode. It can achieve a maximum cruising range of 60km, and then continue to switch to the hybrid mode.

For the past ten years, Toyota's strategic focus has been on hybrid electric vehicles, with the Prius as the pioneer. The current Prius is the fourth generation, with a fully hybrid and plug-in hybrid. In terms of zero-emission vehicles, Toyota introduced Mirai, the world's first mass-produced hydrogen-powered car. At the time of the launch of Mirai, Toyota announced that their research focus was not on abandoning hybrid or hydrogen-powered cars, but on electric vehicles. But since then, Toyota seems to have adjusted its strategy and launched a number of electric vehicles.

The hydrogenation time of hydrogen-powered vehicles is similar to that of ordinary fuel vehicles, so hydrogen-powered vehicles are currently the best environmentally friendly vehicles. However, the construction of hydrogen refueling stations is relatively slow, which limits the development of hydrogen-powered vehicles. At the same time, the rapid development of battery technology, coupled with the efforts of governments and distributors to promote the construction of charging stations, so electric vehicles have great advantages. However, in view of the current electric vehicles introduced by various car companies, most models are more expensive.

Toyota's new Prius may make up for this shortcoming. Toyota may adopt the modern Ioniq strategy, and each model will have a choice of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric three power systems. The next generation of Mirai will still use a hydrogen-powered system, and the Prius may launch a purely electric version to adapt to the market. With this in mind, Toyota will relaunch the discontinued RAV4 pure electric version. Toyota said that the electric version of the RAV4 is driving the development of a new generation of battery technology, which also indicates that Toyota is planning to introduce electric vehicles.

In the future, Toyota will have a hybrid car equipped with the latest generation of THS hybrid/plug-in hybrid system and a new hydrogen fuel cell model Mirai. The daily commute in the city will be compensated by pure electric vehicles. In addition, the future does not rule out the idea that Toyota is expected to adopt the modern Ioniq strategy, so that each model will have a choice of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric three power systems.

For now, Toyota is expected to launch a new pure electric version on the new Prius, but it is still uncertain whether it is suitable for the Chinese market. However, with this in mind, it is expected that the previously discontinued RAV4 pure electric version may also be "resurrected". After all, Toyota also said that the RAV4 EV will promote the development of next-generation battery technology, which again shows Toyota's plan to introduce electric vehicles.

State Comments: Toyota's technology reserves have always been very strong. On the one hand, the new battery technology can enhance the core competitiveness of the hybrid car. On the other hand, it can also allow Toyota to follow the changes in the market to make product and strategic adjustments. Looking forward to the future Toyota can be introduced in China. More pure electric cars.
