Toyota's Solid-State Battery Plans - Too Little, Too Late?

[Choco92]

Toyota is talking about launching solid-state batteries with insane 750 mi range and super-fast charging. Sounds epic, right? But hold up - don’t get too hyped just yet. These bad boys aren’t hitting the streets until 2027 at the earliest! By then, other companies like VW and Hyundai might already be cruising ahead with their own solid-state rides. Toyota’s gotta step up their game if they want to stay in the EV race, right? What’s your take on this?

Toyota's claims about future batteries are most likely a distraction intended to slow EV adoption. They want consumers to believe that current EVs will become obsolete as high-capacity, fast-charging batteries become available. This strategy appears to be motivated by a lack of competitive EV options.

Look at the wheelbase stats across EVs. Toyota isn't behind in anything; it's refusing to make heavy boats to support large batteries.
