Toyota Teases Solid-State Batteries in 2027

Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, has released what it calls a “roadmap” of its advanced battery future for electric vehicles. Whether Toyota will faithfully follow that map or take a detour to its favored hybrid or fuel-cell tech remains an open question. The one-time darling of environmentalists, Toyota has lately faced sharp criticism for fence-straddling… Continue reading Toyota Teases Solid-State Batteries in 2027

Tower of Power Charges EVs, No Grid Required

The world’s transition to electric cars sounds daunting enough, without even considering upstream challenges such as beefing up a creaky electric grid and connecting that grid to a U.S. national target of 25 million EVs by 2030 (and a similarly ambitious set of goals worldwide). So, to that end, a simple-yet-patented idea has been spun… Continue reading Tower of Power Charges EVs, No Grid Required
