After my previous video on Yoshino’s solid state battery, I followed up on reports that claimed it may not be “solid state.” I’ve had multiple conversations with TechInsights, the company that broke down Yoshino’s solid state cell, as well as my friend @Ziroth, who organized a breakdown in a university lab. The burning question now becomes: “Is Yoshino’s battery actually solid state?” And if it’s not, why is the company calling it that in the first place?
