Toyota locks in more than a supply of EV batteries in deal with China's CATL

Toyota needs more than a secure and steady supply of batteries if it hopes to meet its ambitious global sales goal for electric vehicles. If it hopes to compete, the Japanese automaker will need better quality lithium-ion batteries that don't squeeze profit margins. The automaker is turning to Chinese EV battery supplier CATL for the answer.
