they’re claiming an effective charging rate of 4.7 MW for this battery.
An average home uses roughly 1500 watts, so 4.7 MW is equivalent to over 3,000 homes.
**The faster the charge, the faster the degradation of the battery as well.**
And a faster burn of the ev itself, as well as whatever it is near: garage, house, new car hauling freighter, etc.
it was once said there will be little chancre that internal combustion vehicles replace the horse as the force for personal transportation.
SIX MINUTES CHARGE.
Brought to you by the same company that brought you SIX MINUTE ABS.
See reply #28
I intended to type 10 minutes although a diesel tractor will take easily 19 minute.
Didn’t you know that laws produced by Democrats could create new realities?
Works out to about 400 amps at 220 V
Good luck with that
Just off the top of my head, I'd say that's low by a factor of ten. Electric stoves, electric water heaters, microwaves, air conditioners in summer, furnace air handlers in winter, gaming computers, und-und-und. Not to mention that, in a lot of new homes I see, lighting alone will consume a kilowatt.
Oh crap I dropped a zero, four thousand amps

How about this -
you can’t change the physics of energy transfer.
Perpetual motion, cold fusion, 100 mpg carburetors, the pill that turns water in your fuel tank to gas, magic batteries, climate change etc. all fraudulent crap that credulous fools not only believe, but harden their minds against reality to protect their false belief.

Three minutes at the gas pump and I can go over 400 miles.
Nonsense.
Does the magic Tesla supercharger come with its own nuclear reactor or coal plant? Or does it run off the grid, you know that grid that is running at max capacity in hot weather
Is this like the fabled Mercedes double A class vehicle?

I can’t understand your math. According to google a Tesla uses 34 kWh/100 miles that’s .34 kWh/mile or .34*140=47.6 kWh. So by your claim a Tesla supercharger must charge 47.6 kWh in 6 minutes. However; a 350 kWh charger by definition charges 350/60=5.83kwh per minute. So in 6 minutes max of 35kwh. This doesn’t allow for the 5-10% loss going from charger to battery (which is why the battery and charger get hot during charging). So what’s the answer? Are the missing 12 kWh added by magic? Is the charger running at 600 or 1000 rate? Can a Tesla car battery even take a 600 or 1000kwh charge rate? The faster the charge rate the more energy is wasted and the shorter the battery life. So what’s the explanation?
Judging the performance of MITs president in congressional testimony last week I would place no more confidence in MIT than I would in these con men. (And take note that MIT is my grad school Alma Mater)
I wouldn’t want to be near the power cable delivering that kind of power to such a battery. One mistake and it would turn you into smoke. It wouldn’t be something you would want fired up in the rain.
......And the company just needs a few billion dollars of tax payer dollars to continue the research.
