Honda said last month its new demonstration line north of Tokyo, shown, will begin test production in January, a key step in its drive to phase out internal combustion in its vehicles by 2040. Solid-state batteries are seen as delivering breakthroughs in cost, safety and performance. (HONDA MOTOR CO.)
