    Toyota last week announced a partnership with energy group Idemitsu Kosan to jointly develop and produce a solid-state battery material called sulphide solid electrolyte, which the companies said was most promising in addressing the durability issue.

    I won’t put too much hope considering so mucn time they’ve wasted ignoring the EV market. However, given that they are having a partnership with Idemitsu Kosan, they might be up to something.

      People keep saying that but they’ve been using batteries to make wheels spin longer than any major manufacturers. The Prius came out in 1997!
