    Late 2026, Toyota will be selling EVs with solid state batteries, way before Tesla and most EV manufacturers.

    just about everyone is racing for solid state

    https://insideevs.com/news/771402/every-solid-state-battery-ev/

    most believe china will get there first as they have the most experience with battery tech

    Y’all talk about making EVs, but you don’t actually buy them

    ev sales are higher than ever?

    and this is in australia where everyone needs to drive 1000km to get to the shops

    also tbf there’s a lot of disinformation out there, i’ve spoken to people who thought the ev battery was the same as a phone battery and died after 5 years (of course it immediately caught on fire then burnt my house down right 🤣)

    nevermind the legions of paid fud from oil companies and useful idiots on facebook

    Spoiler alert: they won’t break every month

    evs don’t break every month, thats what im trying to say, they have barely any maintenance at all, ev car maintenance involves checking the brakes for rust because they don’t get used and topping up windscreen wiper fluid

    toyotas brand is linked to the reliability of an engine that doesn’t exist in an ev

    like 90% of people who buy an ev don’t go back to petrol, once this becomes obvious to the mainstream toyota will lose a lot of brand cred
