They are introducing EVs in 2022, but not with solid state batteries. They had a press event in late 2020 stating that they will be introducing solid state batteries but did not give a timeline. They also did not mention that on a kWh to kWh basis, solid state is a lot more expensive than liquid / gel cathode batteries. This is to be expected, since it’s basically comparing 1st gen SS technology to what will be 3rd or 4th gen liquid / gel cathode technology. Another automaker whom I can’t remember off hand also discussed introducing SS batteries, but they were a bit more transparent about timing. Their vehicle will launch in 2022 with conventional lithium ion and the solid state battery packs will retrofit when they are available some time later, likely a year or two.
