No surprise here. Lordstown Motors basically has been struggling since they started up. They won't be the only startup to fail but that has little bearing on the success of more established manufacturers.

True. I just see more competition as a good thing for consumers who now have one less choice.

Another one will pop up. No shortage of risk capital. Especially when it's for a good cause(?)

lordstown always struck me as weird. repurposing old GM truck bodies.

they fit in the space where they were doing things technically feasible, but there was nothing new/different about them

A lot of these small startups seem like they are trying to come up with an innovation that will bring a big fish in to buy them.

Wait, maybe this isn't an accidental drop, maybe it's inflight refueling! Works like this:

Battery pack is charged and magnetized by refueler.
You call for service using GPS.
Lead truck catches up and gets in front of you (or airdrop) and drops battery in front of you.
You drop your battery pack.
You use momentum to drive over new battery back which is pulled to bottom of vehicle.
Trailing truck picks up your old battery pack.

Toyota claims battery breakthrough in potential boost for electric cars

Go Toyota, but I'll believe it when I see it. Solid state is the real solution to getting rid of charging time concerns. Making a vehicle with (relatively) light weight battery that also has a whole day driving charge is great.

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.
