This seems like cool technology, but I can't help but to believe that people are concentrating on the wrong problem. Range is important up to a point, but the more important problems to solve are 1) a recharging infrastructure that makes it so that EVs don't need such huge batteries in the first place and 2) recharge speed needs to be at the level of plug-in, use the bathroom, un-plug and go.
- jaredhallen 3y agoWell I guess that depends on how long you stay in the bathroom. Joking aside, though, that's a tough problem. It's just an awful lot of current.
- thebruce87m 3y agoRecharge speed is there already. 20 mins is enough to get 2 - 3 hours worth of driving. We just need more of these fast chargers rather than lots of slow ones. Considering I charge at home I actually save time overall vs filling up my old diesel in daily driving so stopping every 2 - 3 hours is fine for occasional long trips. Also I spend about 1/5th per mile too. Most people coming from an ICE get hung up on the range however. They think they need something that does what they have already.
