I assumed most intelligent people would understand I was referring to kilowatt HOURS. The main engineering point is all those KWH have to be crammed into 15 minutes. That would require very high amperes & voltage. Not practical.

“The main engineering point is all those KWH have to be crammed into 15 minutes. That would require very high amperes & voltage. Not practical.”

From the article:


600 mile range
10% to 80% charging in 10 minutes

600m × .7 × .25 kwhrs/m = 105 kwhrs.

Tesla’s V4 charger can do that in 12 minutes.

The BYD charger can do that in 6 minutes.

No? Already exists.

BYD has a 1000 kw charger.

In 15 minutes it can output 250 kwhrs.

At 0,25 kwhrs per mile that is 1000 miles.

AND, BYD is making cars with TWO charging ports that enable it to be connected to TWO charging stations!’
