InnerworldChinese carmaker, BYD, introduces new battery technology with 621-mile range, 620K-mile lifespan, 5-minute charge, and lower prices
What the fuck does 5 minute charge mean? Zero to full in 5 minutes? For that big of a battery I believe that is not physically possible
AnUnusualRelicThe main problem is having a charger with enough power to fill the battery that fast. But it’s more of an infrastructure problem.
Also the numbers given are usually for a 80% charge. I don’t know if it’s the case here, but probably.
I believe those chargers are battery to battery, not grid to battery. You don’t need 2.5Mw connection directly to the charger. You charge the charger’s battery at normal speed and then pump it into the car rapidly. This means that you can charge only couple of cars in a row at that speed.
That should work. But it sucks when you’re in the third car.
