Spoke with one of my gnomes, possibly this is utilizing sodium magnesium sulfate, found in sea water. the Sulfur battery has been a bit of a holy grail, we need to learn more. The question I have is does this delve into the anti-petrovites that QuantumScape (look into who and what they are doing) is working on.
The big one here is the 5 min charge time to 80%, again IMHO the next beach-head is charge times...
You are on the money, 5 minutes to 80% makes it possible to actually pitstop an electric car. This would be huge.
The problem with all electric cars is that efficiency of the car is largely illusory. Power Plants are enormously efficient conversion mechanisms for heat into electic power, but lots of energy is lost along the path of getting it into the car vs. just burning the fuel and using it to crank the tires via heat expansion. And, the other little problem is that the Dems have been shutting down virtually ALL power plant construction since the 1980’s. This has left the vast majority of power plants in service more than 50 years old. The design lives of these plants were 30 years.. and no one sees a problem. This is largely due to the efficiency of Gas Turbine technology and fracking. But, would the Electrical Grid actually take an increase of 10% or 20% to really offer energy for a similar percentage of electric vehicles? Nah.
