Honey wake up, it's the weekly miracle battery tech!

But now it's actually being produced and put into products.

Sweet, I've been thinking about getting another EV. Which one is it in? I've got some time to go do test drives this weekend.

They said it would be in Lexus first if you read the article. There are power banks on the market with solid state batteries today if you like.

Hmm the only Lexus EVs I see sold around me only have 220 miles of range.

Not sure if you're joking but

Both Toyota and Samsung have vowed to begin mass solid-state battery production in 2027, and Toyota, too, advised that it will be installing them in premium electric cars under the Lexus brand first.

From the article.

I was responding to the comment that said "But now it's actually being produced and put into products."

Toyota is notorious for putting out FUD when it comes to EVs. They bet on hydrogen and missed the boat with EVs - and it shows. To prevent people from buying EVs from their competitors, they've been promoting new miracle battery tech for a while now. Why buy a Hyundai with 300 miles of range when a Toyota with 600 miles of range is just around the corner?

The fact of the matter is they're not producing these batteries right now in a car that you or I can buy. When the top comment joked about new battery tech being out, it's because there's a new article about this every other day. Toyota doesn't want you to buy an EV right now, so expect articles like this for years to come.

Why buy a Hyundai with 300 mile range? Because it's available today. And if I'm concerned enough about missing out on upcoming tech, Hyundai/Kia have good lease terms that give you the option of buying out or trading up at the end if the tech improves that much by then.

But yeah, I'm still annoyed with them championing hydrogen that hard when it was super easy to see how limited it would be compared to BEV for general purpose commuting, and how much easier the infrastructure would be to start up (a small amount of BEV infra will easily support a small amount of BEVs, but a small amount of hydrogen infra will support basically nothing at all since you can't refill at home)

Exactly.

Not only that but they are actually shipping batches to automakers for testing already.
