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.
Suspiciously, no “country of origin” (ownership, technical development, patents, copy-cat technologies and chemistries) is given.
“May Soon”
In other words, this article is pie in the sky.
200 miles and fireproof might be a stronger selling point. :)
Call me when the batteries need to replaced on a cost and schedule similar to a gas tank.
If they can come up with a battery that...
doesn’t die after a number of charges,
can tow a trailer,
can go the distance in the winter,
doesn’t spontaneously combust,
can reload as quick as a gas fill up,
doesn’t ruin the planet,
doesn’t cost multiple times what an IC car costs,
has value in the used market,
doesn’t need government money,
they’ll have something worth looking at.
If True, it now means that the next MAJOR hurdle needs to be addressed...
Enough charging options and locations and enough actual power on the grid.
