IF true this is a game changer.

Meh. Maybe a game changer if they don’t blow up and burn your house down.

If we look at China, whose EV makers offer similar charging speeds, 480kW and sometimes even 600kW chargers are an absolute must.

+++++++++++

600kW = 804 HP; The article itself tells you why this is impractical. Once again the details tell you this is folly.

Then, of course, there’s the issue of cost. At present, it costs way more to manufacture solid-state EV batteries than Lithium-ion and LFP batteries found in current EVs—around three or four times, to be specific.

Game changer? It costs 3-4 times the already high costs of the batteries for today's failures.

If you want an EV that's OK with me, but I own a Chevy Impala, V-6, runs like a top, and fills a tank of gas in less than 5 minutes.

There are gas stations on every corner and I have not run out of gas since I was a stupid, young buck back in the 60's {and I bought a quart of beer instead of a gallon of gas, both cost twenty five cents and I only had a quarter}. OPPPS
