A reasonable battery enables a range of more than 1,000 km in WLTP

Nonsense. Why does a "reasonable" battery have to deliver such ranges, which 90% of all combustion engines do not deliver either and which 90% of all people do not need in one go (thanks to fast refueling). A reasonable battery must be comparable to the petrol/diesel engine. For a city car, 350 km range is enough, and for a company car 800 km.

charges from 10 to 80% in under 30 minutes.

That is already state of the art with modern batteries today. Tested myself with the ID7 - 10 to 80% in under 30 minutes (I will order it as a GTX wagon as soon as available). Just take a look at the new CATL Shenxing. They will already be installed this year - theoretically rechargeable 4x from 0 to 100% within one hour. You don’t need to wait for solid-state. 10 minutes from 10 to 80% will already be available this year = like refueling at the gas station.

A reasonable battery enables a range of more than 1,000km in the WLTP and charges from 10 to 80% in under 30 minutes. The Japanese are working on something like that, Toyota wants to have solid-state batteries ready for mass production by 2027. The garbage that VW and co are currently installing in their cars, let's call it at best the early beta version.

Bad enough that I get such a thing as a company car in a few days...

Somehow a exemplary German comment that shows why the German automobile industry is hopelessly behind.

Only do something when it is at least 120% of the old.
That the whole R&D process is carried by the banana versions (ripening at the customer), others have figured that out much more. And accordingly leave us behind. Dynamics are different: Pareto – first do it, then improve.

Why do you want 1000km range, hardly anyone drives that far in one go anyway?

Toyota wants to have the solid-state battery ready for series production by 2027. The junk that VW and co are currently installing in their cars is, at best, the early beta version.

Read today in Handelsblatt the article about the junk from VW & co. Pilot production of solid-state batteries planned for the end of 2024, series production from 2026. The future at VW & co doesn’t look bad at all compared to Toyota, especially if they can even start series production earlier. By the way, Toyota is mentioned in the same article with 2027/2028.
