Fully Charged in Just 6 Minutes – Groundbreaking Technique Could Revolutionize EV Charging::Typically, it takes around 10 hours to charge an electric vehicle. Even with fast-charging techniques, you’re still looking at a minimum of 30 minutes – and that’s if there’s an open spot at a charging station. If electric vehicles could charge as swiftly as we refill traditional gas vehicles, it wo

    What a bullshit article. While better anode materials are always nice, these claims about charging speed are just dumb. That’s only so much power you can push into a battery and today’s 350 KW chargers are probably already the practical limit. And if you can’t take a 20 minute break every 400 km or so, you should go home and rethink your life.

      I was thinking that this is one of those thousands of battery technologies we will never hear about again.

      That’s literally the law in many countries - commercial drivers (who are the kinds of people who would be driving those kinds of distances) have to take a 45 minute break every 4.5 hours. Because it’s unsafe to not do so.

      Jesus Christ lolol, Imagine attacking people because they don’t want to spend an half hour or more waiting on charging.

      Poor baby can’t deal with physics so you lash out and pretend like waiting wasting hours on longer trips.

        Congratulations. That’s the dumbest take I’ve read on social media in weeks. That’s downright Reddit levels of stupidity. Why don’t you slink off back into whatever hole you crawled out from?

        In the EU it’s mandated by law to rest after a few hours of driving. You shouldn’t be driving 9 hours continuously like ever.

            Correct. But if you get in an accident after driving very long without a break, that will definitely be counted against you in court.

      That’s a weak ass road trip. My car gets 400 miles per tank and we don’t stop until it needs gas again. 400km is chump change on American roads.

        That’s very reckless of you. Regular breaks are required to be able to drive safely. If you don’t take breaks you are being irresponsible and endangering your own life and those of others.
