Just to be clear, Toyota has been making these claims for quite a while now. Until they making examples we can purchase and verify, I’m going to continue filing these claims under “vaporware”.
Polestar has already equipped vehicles with this tech.
Which polestar?
The polestar 1 is a hybrid (discontinued)
Polestar 2 charges 20% to 80% in 28 minutes using LGES or CATL batteries depending on spec
Polestar 3 (unreleased) charges 20% to 80% in 30 minutes using LNMC batteries
Polestar 4 (unreleased) charges 20% to 80% in 30 minutes using LNMC batteries
Polestar 5 (unreleased) is still in development
The PS5, and yeah still unreleased, but already driving prototypes out in the wild. They are using the companys tech mentioned in the article and hopefully we'll see widespread adoption after testing.
I'm usually sceptic, but for once these new battery inventions are actually already implemented, and not just on paper or in a lab.
