If it really has a 10 minute charge though, why not make it half that size and save even more weight? I've be very happy with a 350 mile range and a 10 minute 0 to 100% charge.

I would expect a lot of announcements from smaller companies touting new battery technologies in order to lure investors and boost shareprices. Coming from Toyota I believe it's meant to improve their esg and favor in the frightened and woke investment industry.

Some smaller startups have touted Soild State breakthroughs but they're nothing but fluff pieces or one offs that are more akin to a proof of concept. Toyota was the only one with an actual working Solid State battery prototype car (Toyota LQ concept) testing during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. |

I'm sure the size could be smaller too. Although, the bigger the battery, the faster it could add range. They aren't providing any specifications for this battery, so we don't know if this is just a big battery like 200kWh with the weight of a lithium-ion battery at 100kWh, so it has twice the range and a large size that can add range faster, and we don't know if this battery has the ability to charge fast because its battery chemistry could accept a 1000kW charger, but those don't exist, so on a standard Tesla supercharger, it might take 20 minutes to get to 80% from 10% or something (an improvement, but not what was claimed). We just don't know until we know. Tesla and others has been more open about its battery designs, but Toyota has been less specific, IMO, so even though it is Toyota and not some lab or startup making these claims, I'm hesitant to get too excited.

This was a month ago from Toyota with a few more details. We discussed Toyota claiming to be working on copying Tesla's playbook with gigacastings, automated assembly line and so on. This gives some more battery specifics, but again, I'll believe it when I see it.

I'd like to know how they actually charged it. "Capable of" is not real world. That being said I totally agree that why not make a smaller cheaper battery with this tech. Range anxiety is becoming less of a thing with more stations available. A car like a base Model 3 has enough range for most people with EV's. The convenience of charging less often is nice but is going to become less of a requirement if we could get more reasonably priced EV's that average working age people can afford to buy for the utility.

As a frightened and woke investor, are you a bull or bear on investing in Toyota in light of these announcements? Has Toyota successfully "lured" you in, as Lantanafrs2 claimed?

Toyota looks like an even investment right now based on the 5yr chart. Looks to be at or near a 50% retracement from its lows. I would need to know they invested amply in pride month, transvestite talent shows for preschoolers and Greta thunberg statues before I jumped in though.

Curious of @Irace86.2.0 's opinion on this.
https://www.thedrive.com/features/to...-evs-heres-why It's what, in my view, anyone with half a brain already knew.

The biggest problem I see for me personally is that most Hybrids don't have enough range on electrons to meet my daily driving needs. In the end it's an overly complex halfway solution for an individual. I do agree it would likely cut emissions more quickly overall.

^True but most of the EVs on the road today use halfbaked tech and are quickly becoming obsolete. Many will be dumped, some will be recycled, but fairly wasteful in the long run. The hybrids are less wasteful and could be longer lasting as well as ultimately more useful.
Also the Prius does look good. One of the best...well, maybe not but have you noticed how ugly the average vehicle is these days?
