Another “perpetual motion machine?”

It travels 745 miles on a 10-minute charge?

Does that happen when it’s 20 below zero F. outside?

Will it hold that charge parked outside all night in winter?

Does that happen when it’s 120 F. outside and the air conditioning is running on high?

Does that happen when it’s pulling a trailer?

Typical battery right now is around 100kwh.if it has twice the range must be twice the size,200kwh. Charge in 10 minutes,needs 1.2 megawatts of power, about 30 times the maximum household draw.

"Solid state", so think BIG capacitor or some other non chemical device.

Temperature shouldn't matter much.

But if you've,played with big capacitors, you know what happens when you short them.

What happens in an accident?

My mother used to say if something seems too good to be true it probably isn’t true.

P=VI. In 10 minutes to recharge a battery like this, ‘I’ ( amps ) will have to be thru the roof. We are talking about some serious heat in that transfer of that much energy.
