Toyota is promising 700-800 miles range soonish (3 years?), and I believe them a lot more than the CCP.

I don't believe either though, but I do think Toyota is more trustworthy in general. I'll wait until I see an actual product with independent reviews.

At this point China is more reputable than Toyota when it comes to battery technology.

Toyota has been promising solid state tech "within 5 years" for the past 15 years.

Whereas Chinese companies like CATL and BYD basically make an announcement and then ship products within a year.

So I guess we'll see if they ship solid state batteries within a year. That's the promise here, and I'll believe it when I see it. Just like with Toyota.
