Honestly, I don’t doubt that they have a battery that could scale up to give thar kind of performance. But, the infrastructure to support it is just not there. Hell, just to run power to the fast charges we have now is barely feasible without upgrading the utility to the property. Point it the bottleneck isn’t the battery, it’s getting that much power to the battery without resorting to cables and connectors used to provide shorepower to cruise ships.
My wife works for our local electricity board. She says that the grid isn’t even prepared for the uk governments target of no more petrol/diesel cars sold by 2030/35 the grid cant take the load of charging electric cars in every home.
Now put a toyota charging in 10 minutes on every driveway and your grid fails.
In other news, Toyota is full of shit.
