Have you heard the latest hype around an unspecified “breakthrough in solid-state battery technology” from Toyota? Back in November, I wrote about it for Forbes. An ad-free version of the article is now available on my website www.lauriewinkless.com/journal/coul... 🧪
Could solid-state batteries supercharge electric vehicles?
Latest Toyota announcement has led to a lot of hype. But how excited should we get?
