So this battery is supposed to be: Half the weight AND half the volume AND half the price AND solid state!

And we are supposed to believe they can have that by 2025?

To charge for 745 miles, would require at least 150 kWh battery, meaning they'd have to charge at 1 MWh. AFAIK the most powerful chargers available today are about 750 kWh. So 1 MWh is possible. But very doubtful for a new solid state battery weighing and costing half of current batteries.

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.
