Volkswagen's Canada Site Quietly Teases Next Jetta

They can catch up as fast as they want to.  If they want to pour billions into R&D for solid state batteries, they can kind of just skip over the 400V and even the battery tech in this recent crop of 2021-2025 era EVs.   Toyota isn't short on money or engineers, it just depends on where they want to deploy it.

Agreed.  When Tesla was the only game in town outside of compliance cars like the Leaf or Bolt, it pretty easy for them, but now pretty much everyone except Toyota/Subaru/Mazda have a pretty competent EV in their line up (and a Stellantis, but they don't really do anything well).   Second problem is Tesla's line up is small and they are slow to refresh it.  The Model X and S have had one minor refresh in like 8 years, and the new 3 and the 2026 Y are really just front /rear fascia refreshes on the same car that is 8 years old.  Now you have the Chinese undercutting Tesla by a ton on price with cars that are equal on tech and range (or even better), an d the luxury brands have EVs with luxury interiors, Tesla doesn't have a luxury car interior,

I have noticed far more new EVgo, ChargePoint and Electrify America 150 and 350 kW chargers being installed or upgraded around the Washington state area which have been very reliable for me so far and charge much faster than Tesla Supercharger stations. 400V versus 800V charging is amazing.

Interesting, seems Hyundai is hitting it to ensure they take leadership in EV sales by expanding the charging credit or a free ChargePoint Level 2 charger for home use.

I have to question just how fast Toyota can really catch up with the rest of the EV market as the Chinese and Koreans seem to now be leading the industry for 800V EVs versus 400V Tesla and others. Hyundai And Kia Patent Structural Battery
