I think it’s more likely they’ll use this tech to produce vehicles with physically smaller batteries that can get 400-500 miles of range.
I don’t think the majority of people are in search of something that can go 800 miles without stopping.

Imagine putting that tech into a work truck. One that's hauling around a load of compost all day.
Will definitely be huge improvement for range in commercial vehicles hauling heavy loads. Can k ly imagine the cost though.
I can only imagine how much these solid state batteries will cost at first on these new vehicles. Hopefully after 5-10 years the cost comes down on them because the range sounds amazing.
If I can't buy it, it doesn't exist.
We don't believe in electric, just hybrid.
We don't believe in turbo engines.
We don't believe in electric, just hydrogen.
We don't believe in Li, just new magic batteries.
Toyota trying to jump to all kinds of desperate niches because they're inept at doing any working tech at a competitive level is kind of hilarious.
