Talk about a quick charge! https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2027/06/13/electric-vehicle-battery-capable-of-98-charge-in-less-than-ten-minutes/ Of course this will worsen the power load to every charging location unless they all get their own batteries to buffer the demand /load. And no mention of life cycle cost; e.g. recycling (higher cost to disassemble? Reclaim components? Disposal?) Enovix, based in Fremont, California, announced that it demonstrated in electric vehicle (EV) battery cells the ability to charge from 0% to 80% state-of-charge in as little as 5.2 minutes and to achieve a greater than 98% charge capacity in under 10 minutes. The cells also surpassed 1,000 cycles while retaining 93% of their capacity. The achievement shattered the United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) goal of achieving 80% charge in 15 minutes.
