1000 kcmil cable x2 +ground and insulation is going to be one beefy cable. I’m not saying it can’t be done, just that it’s not a trivial problem to solve. Add to this an environment with a wide range of ambient temperatures and untrained humans sure to be yanking on stuff.
I just would like to see some details on exactly how these claims will be achieved rather than some marketing puff piece. And Toyota is not alone here, GM pulled the same with the hummer EV and “watts to freedom” marketing buzz with no explanation of what that even means.
