The only thing that solves is the cabling issue, which quite frankly is the easy part of charging. You can always throw a larger connector, liquid cooling, etc at the problem. You're still going to charge them all the same way. The amount of heat generated by charging the battery would remain exactly the same, which is the biggest limitation.
- nine_k 6y agoI suppose batteries already have cooling. During charging, it could run at top performance. Likely air cooling with ambient air would be enough.
- Kirby64 6y agoYeah, that's absolutely not true. Ambient air cooling for batteries is not enough when you're talking about ridiculously fast charging. Tesla's implementation has the AC running full blast (with radiator fans going full tilt) when supercharging even at the 140kW rate. Getting the heat out of batteries is the hard part. And if you can, then keeping up with the heat generated is hard too.
