For unimplanted tags of unspecified size sure it’s technically possible to do, but I’ll let the article summarize why this is blatant marketing hype:

The ideal lab setup often fails miserably once you mount the reader near a gate or machine frame.

It’s worth saying: 1 meter is an ambitious goal for 125kHz. LF systems are intentionally short-range to prevent cross-talk. If you truly need 1-meter coverage, sometimes the real solution isn’t to push more current — it’s to rethink geometry, use multi-coil zones, or explore hybrid systems (LF for identity, HF/UHF for distance).

and then mention that the interference from the dermis vastly reduces the useful range of the tags, and that the article doesn’t actually specify what type of tag they’re designing for (or if it’s using a set orientation…).

… pet microchips are passive LF RFID tags, they have a readable range of maybe 15cm? Unless they’ve figured out some way to power them at distance (or they’re sticking UHF tags in your dogs, which they arent) without frying the camera and giving everyone cancer, they’re inert. What weird marketing hype.

I’m planning to get an EV (when I can afford one, who on earth can afford to buy new cars??) but my biggest concern is with battery degradation - it’s improved a bunch, but you’re still looking at 80-85% capacity after 8 years with gentle use - which if the car already just barely has the range I need… nngh. It really doesn’t get talked about and it’s such a huge part of the logistics you need to consider when getting an EV.
