Toyota claims to have created a battery for EVs that will last for 1200km and be able to be recharged in 10 minutes. https://cleantechnica.com/2023/07/04/toyota-claims-solid-state-battery-has-745-mile-range-10-minute-charging-time/ Two questions that don't seem to be addressed in the media are: 1. How do you get that many Watts down a charging cable? Either you use an insanely high voltage charger or a very fat cable to handle lots of amps. So fat it'd be hard to lift. 2. How do you keep the battery cool while pushing that many Watts into it? #Toyota #EV #Battery #RapidCharger

After buying a replacement, that billed itself as a #RapidCharger for my #Smartphone, I found it didn't #RapidCharge the phone. Once I took the old charger apart, I discovered it was a #USBC to #USBC and the alleged Rapid Charger that didn't register as such on the phone was a USB 3.0 to USB C cord. What a simple thing!
