Polestar has already equipped vehicles with this tech.
Comment on Elon Musk Laid Off Supercharger Team After Taking $17 Million in Federal Charging Grants
sudo42@lemmy.world 1 month agoJust 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”.

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.

Yes, Toyota is using these announcements to dissuade customers from going electric while they continue to sell only ice and hybrid vehicles. Remember that Toyota came out with the Prius 20 years ago and have done nothing since.
