1000 mile range, 5 minute charge

[initforme]

itis as if the battery is all that is needed, no thought goes into how it gets it's energy.

Hopefully whatever technology wins it will not be funded by the demicrat/marxist dictators that have been pushing this garbage.

And as we have said, every electric car is garbage. Now we learn every single battery is now obsolete garbage.

Electric cars, just more consumarism, more stuff to buy

Toyota just developed and started manufacture of aluminum batteries with 1000 mile range, and 5 minutes. No fire hazard, no exotic metals, and already tested by third parties. This battery looks to be usable over the spectrum of battery uses, grid scale utility, EV's, residential batteries. Seriously disruptive technology;

You keep falling for these pie in the sky EV charging and range numbers. Those numbers don't even deserve to be called absurd. Come on, wake up. 1000 miles on a 5 minute charge? In what universe?

While being all in favor of electric vehicles and new technologies, simple math seems to escape proponents. No one with any solid understanding of electricity could ever have believed in a sudden, massive change to electric cars, especially hugely oversized ones so popular in the U.S. Again, in the above example, the ability to charge so much energy so rapidly is unthinkably over-optimistic.
At any rate, individual transportation with alternative energies will require a change of tastes to much lighter, smaller forms. Bicycles are a solid example. Yes, we all know they aren't for everyone and every situation. The search for a "one-size-fits-all" solution is silly. There will likely be numerous choices for various situations.

Well, that all sounds wonderful, almost too good to be true, but it leaves me wondering:

1. At just what voltage and current would an EV using these batteries need to fully charge in 5 minutes?
2. The video mentioned something about chargers with "megawatt" capability, does that mean that I'm holding a million watts in my hand to charge this car--- something like 1000VDC @ 1000amps?
3. What will it cost to fit a million watt charger in my home?
4. Where is all of the freaking electricity going to come from?

I hope it’s true and happens. But I have my doubts.

Oil, gas and coal helped advance the standard of living.

 

[westwall]

That's a game changer

If it's true. They have been announcing stuff like this for decades though.

Yep. But it would be good to see them have to compete bigly.

They do. Do you think fuel prices are too high?

How many new nuclear reactors should we build?

We havevenough energy production. As the fertility rate continues its decline we will need less perhaps.

Not likely in my opinion. Population is still growing and so is the per capita use.

 

[ReinyDays]

Tell that to the 20% of us who have no electric service ...

We havevenough energy production.

But there is not enough electricity to replace all ICE vehicles with EVs.
