The last information I remember is this: they want to sell 5.5 million cars by 2025 and have EVs as an option in their entire lineup. Maybe they will start making them with regular Li-Ion, and switch over to solid state?
I went through 3 articles quickly and read 3 different things  :-//

Those news are from 8 days ago, did Toyota move their goalpost in a few days?

The ID.3 and ID.4 cars VW have offered so far are launch versions, fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. They have said that they will be offering lower spec'd versions as they ramp up. Everyone seems to be doing this as they launch radically new car models these days. Pretty much the only cars now launched with a broad selection of variants are refreshes.

I read some news. Toyota misleading claim is that sales of  electrified * vehicles could reach 5.5 million in 2025,
*electrified vehicles, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid and hydrogen.
Remember their state of the art "self charging hybrid".  :palm: |O

I guess. Japanese companies sometimes do this, they dont talk internally.

--- Quote ---Toyota’s Deputy Chief mentioned that he intends for Toyota to sell at least 5.5 million EVs a year globally by 2025.

So now it's 5.5 million a year? I guess it is a combination of translation error, internal communication (lack of), and news sites repeating old information.
Anyway, they are ding something (yay), and they have an electric platform.

Dont trash those hybrid cars, they are much more fuel efficient than regular ICE.
