If it was a calim from a shady startup - I would be skeptical. But this is Toyota.
Toyota has been claiming this miracle battery tech for years and has yet to actually show it working, let alone in any of their vehicles.
Their share price has been hounded since mid-2022. I see this, without any data to back it up, as something to give shareholders to hold on to and not too much more.
Still great news for solid state batteries to know the big players are all hounding for the first breakthrough.
Like every company who claims major breakthrough battery technology, i’ll be happy to see it if it’s true, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
Is this really is true, can a smaller version of the solid state battery be used for smartphones?
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the car lost power but we could plug our phones into our car and drive a few miles or km to a charging station?
