      Just to be clear, Toyota has been making these claims for quite a while now. Until they making examples we can purchase and verify, I’m going to continue filing these claims under “vaporware”.

        Yes, Toyota is using these announcements to dissuade customers from going electric while they continue to sell only ice and hybrid vehicles. Remember that Toyota came out with the Prius 20 years ago and have done nothing since.

          Which polestar?

          The polestar 1 is a hybrid (discontinued)

          Polestar 2 charges 20% to 80% in 28 minutes using LGES or CATL batteries depending on spec

          Polestar 3 (unreleased) charges 20% to 80% in 30 minutes using LNMC batteries

          Polestar 4 (unreleased) charges 20% to 80% in 30 minutes using LNMC batteries

          Polestar 5 (unreleased) is still in development

            The PS5, and yeah still unreleased, but already driving prototypes out in the wild. They are using the companys tech mentioned in the article and hopefully we’ll see widespread adoption after testing.

            I’m usually sceptic, but for once these new battery inventions are actually already implemented, and not just on paper or in a lab.

      Yeah it’s impressive. When this infrastructure is built-out to where I’m at 30 years from now, if I’m still alive, I might get an EV.
