Emeritus Prof Christopher May on Nostr: If solid-state #batteries are a 'game changer' for the production & sale of ...
If solid-state #batteries are a 'game changer' for the production & sale of #electricvehicles then #Toyota's announcement that they think they are nearing the point when they can mass produce them at the same level & costs as 'normal' car batteries looks like good news;
But, by Toyota's own admission this is still around four year's off... and such claims/targets have slipped before, so don't hold you breath.
Perhaps the bigger Q. for the UK is where do we stand on this next step in car-tech?
