WOW!!! A battery that generates electricity would never need charging!
Whitens and strengthens your teeth at the same time it self-charges!
Look Ma, no cavities!
I think Toyota is seriously stodgy, but it is not stupid to go with a
proven winner. They have a selling point about range and availability of
refueling options, for now at least. They are choosing to follow
cultural norms that are passing, but not past. It is probably good
business, or at least
Sigh. I think it's Lee Hart who classifies phonies as "liars, damned liars,
and battery salesmen."
It's going to be a LONG time before a flouride ion battery is in our EVs, if
it ever happens at all.
