Excerpt:
"Toyota says it has found a technological breakthrough that will allow it to bring solid state batteries to market as early as 2027.
It's one of several advanced battery technologies that will underscore the brand's new EV focus as it pivots away from its former CEO's hybrid-centric strategy.
Solid state batteries promise greater energy density, higher electric range, and faster charging that puts refueling time on-par with a gas-powered vehicle. Scientists, researchers, and automakers have spent decades trying to crack the code on their commercialization, but so far no EVs have them, including Toyota's own offerings: the Toyota bZ4X and Lexus RZ."

This is a press release most likely penned by a marketing wonk who is themselves disconnected with the reality of their own biology.
Side note: does “is” fit grammatically? I feel like the use of “are” would have implied plural. So “is” seemed a better fit.
(if i remember correctly, been a while since my read....)
cold temp effects
damage effects
weight
materials to make them
how are they recycled
ect...
