hmm, sounds like fake news.
Toyota has developed solid-state batteries that charge in less than 15 minutes

my article is a couple months older than yours. maybe Toyota has changed their minds on trying to compete in full EV market. they do have that hybrid Rav4 just released though. think it goes 40 miles on EV, then gas. maybe they sticking with that.
Could that headline be any more sensationalist?
It has mystified me why they haven’t come out with a BEV. Their hybrid technology is superb. They absolutely have the engineering chops to pull it off.
Exactly. Their statement is totally inaccurate.To the quote of Mr. Toyoda, "Toyota has yet to launch an all-electric vehicle outside of China." my only comment is that I owned a Toyota RAV4 EV (full BEV) in 2002 and kept it for six years until a person unable to wait for Tesla offered me TWICE what I paid for it. As I could wait, I used his money for my down payment, and have enjoyed Tesla ever since. I feel Electrek did not research far enough back.

Personally I could care less because their cars are boring and I don’t have any financial or other economic need for Toyota to survive or otherwise.
Something doesn’t smell right. If Toyota has made a breakthrough in solid state battery and coming out with EVs soon, why are they still pushing Hydrogen cars? Japanese gov may be pushing Hydrogen but still no reason.

The other reason why Toyota has been pushing hydrogen FCEVs is due to CARB Mandate For Zero Emission Vehicles. See Toyota Rav4 EV Forum • View topic - Why did Toyota build Rav4 EV? Why hydrogen after 2014 ?. Previously (not sure about now), California offered far more in CA ZEV credits for hydrogen FCEVs than BEVs.Something doesn’t smell right.

I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota's actions are related to observations in their home country + seeing what automakers outside of China, excluding Tesla have invested and their returns on their investments.Japan surprises with its low rate of plug-in car adoption and disappointing sales results.
The Japanese plug-in electric car market is in a disappointing stage. After a 7% decrease in 2018, in 2019 sales decreased by another 17% year-over-year to 43,867.
The market share was just 0.8% (compared to 1.0% in 2018, and 1.1% in 2017), which is very low compared to many other countries.
With all the CHAdeMO fast-charging and the island-type of country, we would expect that Japan, an oil importer, would be a leading plug-in car market.
Indeed. They're also amongst the world's largest automakers, usually manufacturing and selling about 10 million vehicles per year, worldwide with a full range of automobiles and consistent profits of many billions per year virtually every year.Could that headline be any more sensationalist?
The “end of the automaker”, riiiiiiight. Based on what? Pretty sure they sold 2.4 million vehicles last year in the US alone.
They've come out with some. See post 14. There's also some at 8:48 ofIt has mystified me why they haven’t come out with a BEV. Their hybrid technology is superb. They absolutely have the engineering chops to pull it off.
