Yeah, but I bet it takes two months to recharge it !
That is a ton of coal burn off.
The proof is in the pudding.
Show it.
Second “super battery” claim for the month.
Keeping up to tradition.
Also included free are a bottle of pills that will make your di*k grow a foot.
“Even an investment from a Russian billionaire linked to President Trump couldn’t ultimately save the company.”
They just cannot help themselves, can they?
There’s lots to be revealed...
* Price
* Charge time
* Number of charge cycles
* Time behavior of charges? i.e., only 50% of original charge capacity half way through battery life?
* Toxic materials for disposal?
* Hazards in crashes?
* Availability of materials?
Yep...delivery of high-energy density liquid fuels to those “recharging stations” is a highly evolved and highly optimized system. The internal combustion engines that use those fuels are also highly evolved and optimized. Given the great strides in make ICE engines with hydrocarbon fuels very clean, there seems to be little real reason to switch to EVs. Other than it’s a faddish fetish that the greenies and watermelons push.
No, LOL..............
Why would I want a foot to grow on my.......................
I work in the power industry. It always perplexes me that people think we can just put a tesla in every garage and it won’t have an impact on the power grid. It’s a bit like putting a Model T in every garage back in the day, but there are not many service stations.
It takes a lot of electricity to push a couple of tons down the road. And that electricity has to be pumped into a battery. And it has to be generated by a nuclear power plant, or natural gas or coal fired plant, or hydroelectric. And a fraction may also come from Solar or wind.
But I don’t think the grid can handle much more than the “rich man’s toy” level of electric car use.
That would be funny to see!
Battery Breakthrough, finally!!! And, it is only 3-5 years from being commercial, lol
This is great! Continues to show the power of “business” when it comes to solving problems.
So allegedly four times the energy density of a Tesla battery? Well, at least you won’t have to call 911 when one of these catches fire. The inferno will be visible for miles, kind of like a bat signal straight to the fire department.
It probably weighs eighty tons.
