I read it. It seems real and close to market. They have strategic investment from car companies and the battery charges quickly (5 minutes per 100 miles) while still retaining over 80% capacity after 2000 charges, which is apparently a typical regulation for EVs. Their goal is to get it down to 3 minutes per 100 miles of range so fast charging a car will be about like pumping gas and not a thing where you bring a Kindle or a Switch/SteamDeck to juice up.
That is impressive, and sounds like it’s much more feasible than some of the stuff we’ve seen over the years.
They will need the same batteries in the fast charger or a great AC to DC converter.in the cars.
