      This isn’t. Toyota is claiming they’ll have a solid state battery production ready in a few years, which is a substantial improvement over even what this article is claiming.

      Toyota’s is being developed largely in house it seems, and while they do have prototypes, they’re not really expecting them to be in consumer vehicles until 2027.

      This article is talking about the same old liquid technology with just an improved chemistry.
