Toyota claims to have created a battery for EVs that will last for 1200km and be able to be recharged in 10 minutes. cleantechnica.com/2023/07/04/t Two questions that don't seem to be addressed in the media are: 1. How do you get that many Watts down a charging cable? Either you use an insanely high voltage charger or a very fat cable to handle lots of amps. So fat it'd be hard to lift. 2. How do you keep the battery cool while pushing that many Watts into it?

CleanTechnica · Toyota Claims Solid-State Battery Has 745 Mile Range, 10 Minute Charging Time - CleanTechnicaToyota announced this week that it is closer than ever to manufacturing solid-state batteries for its future electric cars.

@pthane Toyota are full of crap.

It's all distraction whilst they fund anti EV legislation around the world

@pthane I dont recall any CleanTechnica articles being skeptical of Tesla making 1,000 solar roofs per week, a Roadster with thrusters that could make it fly, a microchip brain implant that can cure diabetes, and most of all a Tesla that can be called a Level 5 driving system. But when Toyota says they have a new battery technology, color CleanTechnica skeptical.
