Yoshino notes that lithium-ion production capacity aimed at EVs (xEV) matched the capacity for mobile and IT purposes in 2017. He projects that 15% of the passenger vehicle market will be xEV by 2025.
He believes that increased battery capacity, in combination with AI for FSD (AIEVs), will disrupt transportation ca. 2030. He touches on V2G and batteries designed for 600,000-km lifespan.
So... nothing new, right? But it's an inspiring message from someone who's not only a Nobel prizewinner in chemistry, but also Japanese. Maybe this will help convince Toyota to embrace EVs. That could be a big step forward.
