Honda says it is accelerating research at its new 27,000 square-meter demo facility set up in Sakura City, Japan, and is shortening the time required to make a single unit. The site has full-scale equipment that is split between three buildings: the first for cathode formation and cell assembly; the second for anode formation; and the third for electrolyte activation and module assembly.
The plan includes using a continuous inline mixer that Honda says is “three times faster” than typical cell batch processing. Honda plans to make batteries on this line in January.
Honda is readying its solid-state tech for mass production in the second half of the 2020s. The company’s CEO Toshihiro Mibe has eluded that solid-state batteries will also be the key to unlocking cheaper EVs.

I assume the author meant “alluded” here, but solid state batteries certainly have been elusive.
We’re starting to see proof of concepts in the solid state battery race, but they fall way short of projections. Let’s see what happens when the tech proliferates.
I was curious about the thumbnail
The Saloon is the flagship concept model of the Honda 0 Series, which embodies the “Thin, Light, and Wise” approach.
The back looks great! The front looks like a carp.
I must say, that is a damn good looker.
Good looking stuff.
How’s the cargo space, though?Why does it look like a usb stick from the front
Love the blue-shift red-shift infinity mirrors, because why not.
Overly dramatic? Yes. But cliche? No, not yet. Anyway it’s no PT Cruiser or Aztec.
I love the back, I hate the front grille, it looks like a mouth.
It looks like one of the handheld vacuums to clean a desk or something small. It very much looks like a mouth shape
Yeah, it looks like one of those vacuum feeder sharks.
