I’ve been seeing headlines in various places for over a year now about “Toyota’s NEW 745 mile game changer!!”
They’ve obviously paid somebody to plant this story … over and over and over … and over and over.
Has anybody actually *seen this battery?
No.
I hope they do come out with it but damn … STFU until you have something to show.
Always go to the primary source. Toyota press releases and Toyo Times are the only reliable sources of information. News reports from other sources are often biased by the personal speculation of reporters and writers, or by the interests of their sponsors. It’s a waste of time and energy to get frustrated with news reports from secondary sources.
Toyota plans to produce five types of batteries, of which only two are solid-state batteries. The performance version developed with Panasonic and the mass-produced and high-performance versions developed with Toyota Industries are not solid-state batteries. The 750-mile range is the high-performance version developed with Toyota Industries. It was shown to the media in June, but the photos were blurred due to reporting restrictions. In general, you can’t tell the performance of a battery just by looking at it.
