Toyota battery research center opening in Michigan
Overview
Toyota has inaugurated the Toyota Battery Center of North America in Saline, Michigan. The $50 million, 30,000-square-foot facility serves as a central research and testing hub for the company’s North American electrification efforts.
The center focuses on the entire battery life cycle, including raw-material sourcing, technology evaluation, performance analysis, and recycling. Research will support various electrified technologies, such as hybrid, plug-in hybrid, hydrogen, and battery-electric vehicles, with a specific emphasis on developing batteries with longer lifespans for U.S. driving conditions.
The Michigan facility is intended to support Toyota’s broader regional operations, including its $13.9 billion battery manufacturing project in North Carolina. Additionally, the center has established a partnership with the University of Michigan Electric Vehicle Center to provide researchers and students with access to testing infrastructure.
