15:30 Akio Toyoda’s Big Bet
17:50 The All-Solid-State Battery
Toyota says it has developed a battery designed to last 40 years—and I explain what that could mean for your next car and your finances.
I break down Toyota’s extended hybrid battery warranty, falling used electric car values, the new Corolla strategy, the RAV4’s move away from petrol-only power, and the company’s investment in Burnaston. I also examine Toyota’s new performance engines, Akio Toyoda’s multi-pathway approach, and its planned all-solid-state battery.
I separate the official announcements from the potential risks, explaining what has been confirmed, what remains a claim, and what buyers should check before purchasing a hybrid or used electric car. I also explain why buying used, checking battery health, and choosing a car that suits your driveway and charging situation may matter more than waiting for the next breakthrough technology.
