Exactly. If they can get refueling safely down under 5 minutes (full charge), that would move BEVs from like a 30% market share ceiling to 80%.As always, I love to see smart people coming up with good ideas. The hurdle from good idea to viable product is usually a very high one though. We'll see how quickly any of these types of battery improvements actually go large scale commercial. Since batteries are so much more in demand these days, I would think some breakthroughs will be coming and be commercially viable some time this decade. Batteries that accept very fast charging will be the "holy grail" of EV's and would probably push ICE cars into a niche status.
Wow! This is extremely interesting.
Concur, yet worth the efforts.I didn't get the impression it was even remotely close to that point yet. Sounded more like it was one of the numerous next generation battery ideas being played with in the lab. Most of them prove not to be viable. And when one does, it's usually a 5+ year timeframe before we see it in mass production. Tons of designing, testing, refining, and proving needs to take place. Especially for a usage like an automobile.
