With The 745-mile Solid-state Battery, Toyota Just Became A Force To Reckon With::Toyota has been criticized for not being the most proactive manufacturer out there, but with this new solid-state battery, it just changed the game.

745 mile range on the battery and they’d make it a hybrid? What a waste!

Need a more complicated drivetrain, a transmission, an engine block, and a fuel tank. All of that added weight and complexity when you have a 745 mile range without it?

Why? What is their reasoning?

It doesn't exist, that's it. This is just another lie from a known serial lier

It'll be a much smaller solid state battery in a hybrid, they wouldn't put enough batteries in it to hit 745 miles. I assume they would use at most 10% of the cells a 745mile vehicle would need and it could be under 5% of the cells needed.
