    I’ll believe it when it’s actually in production. Toyota has been making claims about this for a long time now and it always seems to be “just a few years” away.

      That’s where I am, too. We’ve been hearing that fully practical electrification of transportation is Just Around The Corner! since the '90’s. I’m still waiting for it to actually happen.

      But I’m ready. Bring it on already.

      On the bright side, with several almost completely practical BEV’s on the market already we’re much closer than we’ve ever been.

      Yep, thankfully there’s more manufacturers trying to make it work. Samsung sounds promising

      Other companies have also made progress recently. Chinese battery maker CATL revealed it was preparing to mass-produce its semi-solid batteries before the year’s end, while South Korea’s Samsung SDI has completed a fully automated pilot line for solid-state batteries.
