Toyota promises long-range solid-state batteries in EVs by early 2020s | Autoweek

Toyota has only recently expressed interest in pure electrics, as opposed to plug-in hybrids, but a new report says the auto giant is planning to leapfrog early electric car leaders by debuting an EV with all-solid-state batteries by 2022. The Japanese daily Chunichi Shimbun (via Reuters) reports that Toyota is focusing on this technology, distinct from lithium-ion batteries, in an effort to market a car with a significantly longer range and a shorter recharge time.

Solid-state batteries also hold the promise of offering roughly twice the energy density of lithium-ion and other "liquid" batteries per pound, which makes their use in EVs attractive once the technology is perfected and commercialized.
More importantly, solid-state batteries also hold the promise of being recharged in minutes, instead of the quickest fast-chargers being able to juice up a lithium-ion car battery in half an hour.

current batteries are fine. tesla just showed the first 30 units of their $35k Model 3. their cheapest car but still quite expensive from a 3rd world perspective
but current lithium-ion tech is already mature enough for vehicle use. i could definitely see myself having an electric mini hatchback in the next 5 years, for backup-car purposes. for daily short trips around town.
since EV adoption is super-slow here in PH i'll probably just convert a hyundai EON or something to electric :twak2:

I wonder what will the world be like when I'm 97 years old.
Re: electric powered cars
fossil fuels will go down big time once electric cars becomes the norm in 21st world countries, developing ones will take a little bit more time..

Meralco launches first ever electric vehicle charging station in PH | Auto Industriya
***
Just remembered an old news that Meralco has a vehicle charging station...
Question ko is may local standard na ba tayo on how to connect your electric car sa charger?
Can you bring an electric car to Meralco and expect na pwede mo icharge yung car mo directly?
So does an ejeep (like the Comet) use the same plug used for a Tesla/Leaf?
Re: electric powered cars
next year siguro meron na Mitsubishi i-MiEV noh?

^I wonder how long will the battery last in EDSA traffic with A/C, sounds, lights and wipers on...
Re: electric powered cars
Hybrid rather than fully electric is more feasible in our traffic situation.
