“They may eventually get batteries that can charge anywhere you can plug in, and do it in two minutes. But we aren’t there now, and won’t be before I die.”
Sigh,
China has been kicking butts and taking names again CATL these are not lab toys they are production items. The USA just banned them here. At least until Gavin or AOC sits in the WH.
Oh and the GBT standard already in China is rated at 1 megawatt so yeah you can charge in 3 min and 40 seconds no one cares about the time if it’s under 5 min total.
Here is what you are not allowed to have.
10% to 35%: 1 minute
10% to 80%: 3 minutes 44 seconds
10% to 98%: 6 minutes 27 seconds
At -30°C to 98%: 9 minutes
“After 1,000 ultra-fast charging cycles, the battery maintains a State of Health (SoH) above 90%”
Real EV owners charge 10-80% that’s the window for daily use and where you get thousands of cycles as in over half million miles for a 300+ mile pack size. Industry standard is SOH 80% not 90 so 2000 cycles is 600,000 miles in a 300 mile pack. This pack is in a 1000km range vehicle so 1000 cycles is 1,000,000km with 90%SOH IF that could be sold here it would rightfully bloodbath the American auto cabal. Do better big 3.
Notice the -30C that colder than almost 99% of CONUS and it only adds 3 min to 6 for a 98% the 10-80 is still under 4 min it won’t matter for real people.
Don’t get all butthurt the GOP is setting up a massive pendulum swing in both the midterms and 28’ that’s on them the reality is the next Dem POTUS removes all the silly tariffs messing up the stock market and isolating the USA from our neighbors Canada and Mexico. Live in reality it’s when not if.
Don’t get “butthurt” and obnoxious when people disagree with your “superior intellect”. Oh, you are a self-proclaimed “polymath”. Wow.
You might provide valuable input on this site if you weren’t such an asshole. But hey, you are really smart so that covers you, right?
Smart enough to convince yourself. You can live in your own reality.
I can’t afford an EV, don’t want one, & certainly could never trust a used one to even be affordable. I can’t afford a new gas powered vehicle, & since I’m old, I doubt that either one’s in my future.
If getting those Chinese EVs depends on Gavin or AOC getting into the WH, well that’s reason enough right there to not see it happen.No reason for giving China any more inroads into the USA; they have too many already and should be banned from our country.
