Just saw this.

If it is true this would seem to represent a significant advance in EV charging, and abilities. Much better cold-weather performance as well.

Both companies represent the best of the best, globally.

The government wants to herd us like CATL.

434 miles on a charge? What time of year and what conditions? My friend has a Tesla and it’s rated about 323 miles per charge. In the winter he is lucky to get 225-235 Miles per charge....then has to look for another charging station, etc.

15 minutes is probably to 80% charge at most.

There’s got to be some way to transfer to a smaller battery format, much like HD changed to SSD.

About time they started incorporating Alien technology.

Highly skeptical. No mention of the TYPE of charger used to get this “10 minute” charging time.

Level 1, 2 or 3? Level 1 and 2 can be used at home for 120/240V, Single Phase services. Level 3 is typically rated at 480V/3 Phase which is only found at super-charging or public charging.

I gassed up in 3 minutes this morning.

And had my choice of 20 gas stations on the way to work.

These numbers are not just incremental improvements; they represent a quantum leap in battery technology.

What is the increased risk of battery FIRES with the faster charging times?

When you're transferring the same amount of energy in a shorter amount of time, something is getting hotter.

Dream on. Musk has to obey the laws of physics and such a battery is unlikely. However Tesla can release almost any information, have it resound through the media and the stock price goes up. Nice scam.

I’d be very open to buying an EV with this type of performance....if they cost $25K. At the current EV prices, I’ll stick to my gas guzzlers.

May or may not.

I don’t care if it gets 1000 miles to a charge...I can’t afford to buy this “wonder”. It’s going to beat out the Edsel as a dream car. /s

While our competitors and enemies on the world stage continue to use gasoline and diesel powered vehicles and fossil fuels to power factories and heat buildings our insanely
out-of-control government spends our tax money to hamstring us with forced conversion to more expensive, higher polluting and less convenient “green” power.
