That’s a lot of current. I wonder what kind of cabling and connectors Toyota is picturing for the charging stations. Will there be a trained attendant to hook up your car and monitor things or is the average Joe expected to walk up and successfully manage a multi-megawatt electrical power transfer?
That said, regarding this new battery, it doesn’t sound like just pie in the sky to me. The technology itself seems proven and it’s now just a matter of getting the manufacturing process worked out. Of course it happens all the time that a product isn’t viable because it can’t be manufactured but at least this battery is far enough into development that the remaining hurdles are related to manufacturing and not the feasibility of the basic technology.
