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.

Exactly. They need to do something about the safety and the fires first.

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

So that will just juice the propellerheads to look further into room-temperature superconductors.

Heating is a function of resistance. When resistance goes to zero, there is no heat gain.

(Of course, like room-temp superconductors, the new battery technology will need to be proven at scale. Don't hold your breath.)
