Elon Musk Announces Tesla's NEW Aluminum-ion Super Battery with 15-min Charging
Elon Musk’s latest announcement could change everything about electric vehicles. Tesla is rolling out an all-new aluminum-ion battery that promises to be a game-changer, boasting rapid 15-minute charging times. The technology has been years in the making, but it could lead to a future where Elon Musk is quite literally, on top of the world. Imagine charging your electric car in just 15 minutes—Elon Musk's latest breakthrough could make it a reality and revolutionize the future of transportation as we know it. Curious to know how this innovation could reshape the EV landscape? Let’s dive into the details.
I was reading up on what happens if you have too much voltage for available wiring. Not good.
Charge time is great where are you going to get a grid that can handle that many amps being drawn, add a dozen or 2 dozen… more
Then add the power needed overall, if the grid can handle it, where will that power come from
We ain’t got enough unicorn farts and fairy dust to pull this off
Got me, I just read an article the other day talking about the 10s of billions the government owes nuclear facilities for disposal of spent fuel rods.
“I was reading up on what happens if you have too much voltage for available wiring. Not good.”
EV charging cannot cause voltages to be too high for the wiring.
You can already charge the batter to 85% in 15 minutes on the right supercharger.
About the time to go to the bathroom, and get a coffee and get settled back in your car.
Well, that explains a lot. 🤣
The life of the traction motors should be the least of your worries. Brushless and lifetime bearings.

I was talking about other drivers. I have seen guys walking on highways with a gas can in hand. I am also driving since 1960. Never ran out of gas. But one time came close driving in boonies, we had hard time finding a gas station. But fortunately made it to one before running out of gas.
Imagine me filling up my gas tank in 3.
Wouldn't most people be charging it at home when you're not going anywhere?
“Wouldn’t most people be charging it at home when you’re not going anywhere?”
The average driver drives about 35 miles per day. At 250 watthrs per mile that is about 9 kwhrs. That would take less than 1 hour using a level 2 charger or about 8 hours with the 110v supply.
15 minutes is a game changer...
Electric cars might be useful in 50 years.
But not today
“I just did a quick check. This new Tesla aluminum-ion battery is being reported on YouTube. But I can’t find it being reported anywhere else.”
So this is established technology what Musk is using? Or has he solved a few of these problems?
That still leaves many problems.
If I had a dollar for every time a battery breakthrough has been written about, I’d be.......well, not Elon, but I’d be able to afford a Tesla.
at a subsidy by the Boring Company of $2.50/ride x 700,000 rides, that’s a $1,750,000 loss to the Boring Company ... i guess i don’t see where the 100x savings is you claim is ...
700,000 rides is only the beginning. The Las Vegas council saw it’s worth enough to have them do the whole thing.
The costs of other companies boring are much greater than the Boring Company. Upwards of 1.5 billion/mile in New York and $400 million/mile every where else.

The Boring Company can do it for $5 million/mile, or 1/10 the cost.
Same with cold fusion... or any controlled fusion...
