Toyota to Unveil ‘The Holy Grail’ of Electric Vehicles in 2027
Are you ready for an electric vehicle?
Well, ready or not, they’re here.
One of the most common reasonable criticisms of EVs is their battery range.
While gasoline-powered engines are dirty, inefficient, and perpetuate the fossil fuel industry’s hegemony over the global energy market, they provide a stability for those on long commutes.
After all, there’s no sense in investing in an EV if one’s 80-mile commute requires a 20-minute pit stop each day to recharge a car’s battery.
Moreover, while charging stations are beginning to pop up all over, they are still not as ubiquitous as gas stations.
But change requires transition, and fortunately, things are changing.
Car manufacturers are continually developing more sophisticated battery technologies, and Toyota just announced plans for a new EV battery with a 932-mile range.
Charge time?
Ten minutes.
Yes — 900 miles on a 10-minute charge.
What’s more, we won’t need to wait a decade or more for it.
Three and half years should cover it.
