The bolded section of your reply is just further demonstration that the technology will not be ready that soon. Because, as you say, who do that if solid state batteries are in our near future. Don't get me wrong...I wish it would be ready.

BMW is behind its competitors in 800 volt wiring (which can lead to faster charging) so IMHO this kind of propaganda is simply to freeze potential buyers in place.

Lets just wait until 2030 and see.
