Wake me up when they produce 50,000 of them at a competitive price point, the specifications check out, and it doesn't drop to a 250 mile range when towing.

And doesn’t burn down the neighborhood when it catches fire.

We should concentrate all of the "inner city youths" and "joggers" into a high density housing project made out of extremely dry timber, put all of the prototype Toyota solid state battery cars inside with the keys in the ignition, a few thousand watermelons, a few thousand buckets of KYC, one weapon for every resident, and four "grape drank" reservoirs at each corner of the project, then come back in a few years to see what happens. It'll be far more thorough than a crash safety test.

The battery is solving a problem that doesn't exist, though. What is the point of electric cars, because they certainly don't reduce harmful emissions once you figure in manufacturing process and disposal. Where do people think the electricity is coming from for their EV anyway.

The Electricitrees make it of course. They grow beside the Power Plants.

Toyota has been secretly developing a solid-state battery for EVs with a range of 745 miles and a charge time of 10 minutes, which could revolutionize the industry.

Oops! There goes 15 minute cities.

A 60KWH battery will require 600kw for 10 min. That's 2,700 amps at 220 volts. Now, I don't know how thick that cable would have to be, but it's huge! The cable would be very stiff. Maybe if the voltage were stepped up to 2,000 volts, the amperage would go down to 300 amps. Then you could use a small 4 aught cable. I'd be interested in seeing Toyota's solution.
