It's hard to understand the
It's hard to understand the truth. Toyota has no idea how to create this supposed solid state battery, has no idea how to produce batteries inexpensively, and we don't know anything about its cycle life or real world testing yet. This is still and for a long time will be considered unfeasible for the mass market. Not to mention the flaiing dealer network that doesn't want to sell electric cars or the infrastructure issues. Toyota is just a load of crap. If they 50,000 solid state battery vehicles (likely all that will be available to them) a year does anyone think they'll make that big a difference or even be supported for 10min fast charging?? This is just a lab experiment and this is iteration one. What we're looking at now with Tesla is mass market iteration three. Without mentioning the unrelenting minor updates to each iteration. We're basically looking at a 10 year old trying to develop batteries for the first time(Prius doesn't really count a battery development) that a 30 year has been developing since they were born.
