“According to Toyota, cars powered by solid-state batteries could have a range of 745 miles, a charging time of 10 minutes and hit the market in 2027 or 2028.”
So at least 5 years away which probably means 8 or more. And by then every car manufacturer will have access to it also.
Range, to me, is much less important than charging speed. I usually stop every couple hundred miles, so if I can recharge that much in 5 to 10 minutes, that’d be fine.
Somebody else do the math - - it's 5 AM and I haven't slept a wink.
Good luck in having the power generation and grid to support that for vehicles for all of us, as our central planners in DC are forcing upon us too quickly.
~15% of energy used in US is gasoline in the transportation sector. Converting that to electrical will take a crash program to build generation capacity that is not happening. The only thing that could do it is nuclear. Only one state has new plants, GA.
Bingo. If it’s that good, people will buy it - without being forced. I’m good with that, but still want my big block...
