Well, I have no idea what a 'Butt plug' would even look like

I've said this many times...I'll believe it when I see it. I've been seeing this story pop up since 2017. If Toyota actually breaks 400 plus miles, I'll personally congratulate Toyota's management team

They're normally fairly well hidden from view

As an aside, the headline of the actual press release is "Idemitsu and Toyota Announce Beginning of Cooperation toward Mass Production of All-Solid-State Batteries for BEVs".

Basically "we have a plan to make a plan"....

Maybe Toyota is building these for its plug-in hybrids

Story has been around since 2011 if not earlier.

Report: Toyota looking to commercialize solid state Li-ion battery in 2015-2020



900 mile range is going to require a megawatt charger, or you'll be waiting awhile to charge to full. Better get on with building your charging network Toyota.

Maybe they are adopting NACS and will be relying on the upcoming V4 chargers
