    • Toyota will enter a comprehensive partnership with Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), the world's largest supplier of electric vehicle (EV) batteries, the automaker announced this week.
    • The deal includes the production of EV batteries and new energy vehicle (NEV) batteries for plug-in hybrids, the development of new battery technology and the reuse and recycling of spent batteries, according to a press release.
    • The move comes after Toyota launched EV battery partnerships with Chinese supplier BYD and Panasonic, one of Tesla's current suppliers and CATL's competition for largest battery supplier.

    Lost track after #1.
    Be interesting to see if they make a leap and try to compete with that other electric truck. What was it - Riviera? Revlon? Rumpleminze? ... is it Friday yet?

    To much to list:)
    I am hoping they leave the electric out of the truck/s and install that stuff in their cars?! Leave the truck a truck!! The circuit won’t be able to handle all the charging and they are going to have to get busy and put stations all over the place?? Should be interesting?
