Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    StoreDot, an Israeli startup known for making fast-charging batteries, announced its model for EVs in 2015. The company claims that its EV battery can reach a full charge within only five minutes and can keep the car running for 300 miles. Now, to prove that its technology works, StoreDot has demonstrated its product's charging capability on stage at the CUBE Tech Fair in Berlin.

    Seems to good to be True.

    Realistically for the next 10-15 years we're going to see rapid charging top out at 400kW.
    Cables (even actively cooled) and grid won't be able to handle much more.

    That would enable 10 minute rapid charges if the batteries can take the power.

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    A 400kW charger will charge a 100kW battery from 20%-90% in about 10 minutes. Not bad :)

    Aren't 350kW chargers not already being rolled out, cros13? 15 years is a long time. Surely they can do better than a tiny improvement to 400kW in all that time?

    If what I heard is true , the German car companies will be rolling out 350 Kw chargers in Ireland in the near future in preparation for the release of electrics in the next year or two Possible starting this year.

    A U.S company also to beginning installation of chargers, all unconfirmed.
