An EV That Can Drive Coast To Coast On A Single Charge
Banyan Hill ^

Posted on 09/14/2023 2:47:29 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

A brand-new battery technology could soon power EVs for 1,000 miles — on a single charge.

To put that in perspective…

If you were to drive a Nissan Leaf from coast to coast, you’d have to recharge the battery eight times…

A Chevy Bolt, seven times…

Even the Tesla Model X would need to be charged six times.

And you’d have to hang around for anywhere between one and 12 hours at each charging station.

But with this new battery technology in your vehicle, you’d only have to recharge ONCE … in a matter of minutes.

Dropped in my in-box. An ad for an investment magazine. Claim's pretty amazing, if true.

Sounds like it falls in the too good to be true bin, sort of like all green crap.

We always knew for decades this was possible, the question was what combination of materials and chemicals would the battery need and how economical could it get

Even if the battery charge claim is true, you would need a substation's electricity and a solid copper charging cable as thick as your arm to transfer that much power so quickly.

A few of these cars charging would cause a blackout.

Only profits in EVs are the ones selling them owners can never recover the costs.

Since the ad doesn’t say anything about the cost, I assume that they know it will be very high.
If low cost were a benefit of this breakthrough they would tell us.
Then we would know this is a lie.

Which coasts are they referring to? The ones I’m familiar with are 3000 miles apart.

That’s where the portable Mr. Fusion powerplants come into play.

I really do not understand why the batteries aren’t slung under the car so you could pull into a station and just swap the batteries out in a couple of minutes. Low batteries could then go to a rack to be recharged. I guess the stations would need a lot of batteries to swap out making the expense prohibitive.

Stupid me, I always thought the coasts were ‘bout 3000 miles apart.

It's not. These claim are based upon the most ideal of conditions, But what coast to coast are they referring to?

The United States is wider in the north so crossing in the north of the US takes longer. The most western point on the pacific coast is West Quoddy Head. The most eastern point on the atlantic coast is Cape Alava. The distance between West Quoddy Head and Cape Alava is 2892 miles as the crow flies in a straight line.

There is no east west route that is a 1,000 miles, even in a straight line as the crow flies.

A gas pump at a service station transfers chemical energy in the form of gasoline at a rate of 20 MW. It would be hard to beat. A 25 AMP 240 V line is 0.006 MW, more than 3000 times more slowly. The amount of energy you can transfer in a second at the gas pump would take over an hour at a 5000 W charging station.

Sounds like a sound investment opportunity to me.

If it can’t make it to the moon and back, it isn’t worth crap.

File this battery report in the same folder as:

“The one secret insurance companies don’t want you to know.”
and
“Lose 20 pounds of belly fat in three days with this one weird trick.”

In other words, if it sounds too good to be true…

The cost of batteries replaced in an EV runs into the 10s of thousands.
