I'm really looking forward to these, but I wonder about the charge time. Even if/when batteries can take much higher charge input, the power source and underlying grid has to be able to provide that greatly increased output safely.
If the Tesla Model X 100D can charge to 170 miles range in 30 minutes with 480v 300A power source, the charging station for this Toyota would need to be ????v and ????A (many multiples of the Tesla). I don't think I want to be anywhere near that if something goes wrong. The solid state battery may not fail, but something else might... That's an electrical explosion with deadly power.
