it sounds like they might be producing them for cars to be out in 2027
but... they're also working on making the manufactoring "simplified" and cheaper than lithium-ion batteries
i dont assume that'll be done by '27
so i expect... costs to be high for the first year or two, and possibly only available in a few (low volume) car models
but we'll see.
i hope they do surprise us greatly. but i have been sceptical of toyota regarding electric... which is weird coz they were among the first to make hybrids
Reading the article again, it merely states Toyota expect to have solid state battery by 2017, which is quite underwhelming, considering BYD already sell cars with solid state batteries.
