They are developing next-Gen batteries while recouping their investment on hybrid tech.

In 2026-7, they are expected to roll out solid state EV’s, with twice the range and half the weight , resources and recharge time.

If all goes as promised, it will be a game changer, and Toyota will deservedly move to the head of the EV pack.

Bonus- Tesla will likely go out of business.
