250 to 350kW chargers are already in common use. And batteries that charge this fast too. What's news here is that they've done it on an LFP battery which is the cheaper kind of lithium chemistry.
- rkangel 3y agoWhat other batteries are in mass manufacture that charge this fast?
- pedrocr 3y agoLipo chemistries used in hobby applications are often rated at 5C charging for example versus 4C here. To get a good comparison in a car we need a manufacturer to actually do the development work and release a car that can be tested in real world conditions. There are the temperature limitations the press release already mentions and also limits to avoid range loss from fast charging over the life of the car.
