5-minute charging

People are clueless as to how big an infrastructure commitment would be needed to support that level of power transfer and just how dangerous it is.

So ya, not buying it.

Right you are. The energy needed for 1000 mile drive is a lot of kilowatts. To transfer so many kilowatts in 5 minutes? There is no such infrastructure possible in practical situations.

I was going to say the same. The current requirements would be enormous.

Thank you for posting Skwor.

Elite Democratic-oppressed (imo) California for example, is probably as ready to recharge aluminum-ion batteries as it was to put out fires in still unrebuilt Pacific Palisades.

Whispers of a 1000-mile range and a 5-minute charge. If that claim sounds ridiculous it is because it is.

Yes People are clueless about the power requirement to do such a charge. Hook one of these to a 100 watt solar panel in the sun and then see how long it takes to charge up. Probably a month.

“People are clueless as to how big an infrastructure commitment would be needed to support that level of power transfer and just how dangerous it is.”

Let’s see...

1000 mile range means you need something like a 200kwh battery.

That’s 12000kw-minutes, so to charge that in 5 minutes you need to ram through it 2400 kw or 2.4MW of power.

With an 800 volt charging station that would mean a current of 3000amps. YIKES!

Or did I screw up someplace?

There’ll be some epic arc-flash videos on the internet when John Q. EV-user starts handling that sort of power.

Exactly. These people think that all you would need to do is to plug it in to recharge it, just like an Iphone.

Too many Americans without STEM literacy!

“5-minute charging”

Nope. It pays to read the article.

Article-—————

But as with all things that sound too good to be true, a closer look at the official source is necessary.

....

This could mean a future range of nearly 1000km (over 600 miles). A rapid charging time of 10 minutes or less (from 10-80% state of charge)

600 m × .7 × 0.25 kwhr/m = 105 who’s.

That is 12 minutes with Tesla’s V4 charger.
