And just how many “cillies” had to die for this?

"and bring the charge times we think below 10 minutes" Why do I think this "WE THINK" will turn out to not be true....

...but does the new battery material burn 20% hotter and longer?

Does it pollute landfills 20% more?

Is it 20% harder for slave children to mine?

To charge in 10 min now tell me the number of kW necessary in the charger and the utility electrical supply feeding it.

Now if they could just decrease the inevitable replacement battery cost by say 90% and work out that pesky little spontaneous combustion issue......

Does it also burn 20% hotter?

This lady was happy before. Now she’s even happier.

But what will this lady do when the Democrats shut down the last coal-fired power station?
I wonder if she has thought about that. Probably not.

And they still suck compared to the internal combustion engine.

There is always equivalent exchange with energy, either with amount of resources need to extract the product, or in potentials in handling the product for nuclear or use in war. Always a trade off. Free energy would always have a trade off via more homes, more people, and the effects on society, etc.

That’s a LOT of electricity to fill a battery in 10 minutes. A service station is going to need thousands of amps if more than one car is charged at a time.

The anode material is part of what causes the fires.

Conventional materials form dendrites on the anodes during charging, tiny fingers of conductive material, that will eventually cause a dead short and then the batteries will burn. Like laying a wrench across a conventional lead-acid battery’s terminals.............

"...we think below 10 minutes..."

.

Well - even if it turns out NOT to be true,
at least they were 'thinking' about it being so.

And that is what the scientific method is all about, right?

'THINKING'.

Don't need to heed any laws of physics - Just 'Think' things into existence.
This 'NEW' Scientific Method' is sometimes referred to as: 'Stinkin Thinkin'.

The other day I drove the long stretch of I-5 between Modesto, CA, and the Tehachapis, and I counted no fewer than 3 Teslas in distress on the side of the road. Guessing this is mainly the result of range miscalculation on the part of users. In any case, for long road trips, the EV concept clearly still compares unfavorably to internal combustion.
