$130,000+ without solid-state batteries.
...Solid-state batteries are already used in some small devices but building them on the scale that automotive production requires isn’t possible yet.
The batteries also suffer from low rate capability and poor performance in cold temperatures...

I wonder how much coal will have the be burned to recharge one of these.
Which means that battery-powered cars would work better in more places if the temperature of the planet was warmer...
I=P/E. It’s the law
Who’s going to have the available power to charge an electric car’s battery in 1 minute?
I’ll believe it, when I see it...
I have nothing against battery powered cars, but until they meet or exceed combustions general performace.... 300-500 range with 10 minute or less charge, they are niche toy/commuter vehicle... based on the noted exceptions in the article...Poor cold weather performance and the fact they can’t build them in scale for autos yet... makes this another pie in the sky promise, without a practical application,
AWESOME!..............if true..........................
Under that National Electric Code all components must be sized to handle at least 125% of the maximum current. This requirement often results in most conductors, transformers, etc. being twice as “big” as required for residential and commercial electric installations.
Most electric utilities (which are designed to the National Electric Safety Code) don't have to generally follow. Instead they use assumptions on diversity of loads. Charging stations are very problematic for electric utilities as most of the diversity studies don't cover such loads.
