Japan is taking the same approach it has since Meiji Restoration 1890 at the turn of the last century. Japan single handedly transformed East Asia into the #1 economic power by 2020. Japan has expanded it focus to all 200 or so nations on earth. Internationalizing Robotic Flexible Manufacturing enables people to design and build their own products suited to amazing local cultures and tastes. Japan FTW!
My Ec prof says Soid State cars are basically going from an $30,000 expensive family purchase to an affordable $5,000 family purchase. Great thing is Charging Stations will be shuttered and closed permanently. The caveat is State DMV fees will be based on road and infrastructure impact. A Prius or Corolla sized Solida State EV would be $200/yr. 4 Runner $1,000/yr. Tacoma $2000/yr. Land Cruiser $5000/yr. And so on.
Incredible innovation. Truly one of a kind. A game changer.
