    Actually reading it again, it seems we are both wrong. 2025 is a “better” battery, 2027 is a solid state battery.

    Having a solid state battery by 2027 is in no way impressive, since BYD already produce and sell fully electric cars with solid state batteries.

      Toyota (partnered with Panasonic) has already broken ground on a new battery plant in NC, maybe that’s when they’re expecting production to begin there?

        No doubt Panasonic makes some of the best batteries in the world, and is a much more trustworthy name regarding batteries than Toyota.

        Still the claims of the article are ridiculous, and I doubt Panasonic would make claims of a solid state battery half the weigh size and prize of current batteries within 2-4 years.
