No it wouldn't. Battery tech isn't the limitation on home charging speed at all. It's the power available at your house that limits charging speed.
This tech would only help cars charge faster at dedicated charging stations.
I dont think there's a single dedicated charging station in the world that supports that speed of charging either.
Well duh the vehicle and battery doesn't exist yet, so of course their aren't any chargers! The charging standards will have to be developed concurrently with the vehicle and deployed slowly over years.
Most countries in the world's entire electrical grid wouldn't be able to handle a full ev-ification of the nation's cars as is- let alone replacing every single one of those cars with chargers that suck enough energy to charge 3~ of the normal modern ev's range (250mi~) in 10 minutes (2x faster than the fastest modern evs) at once.
It would be taking a problem we already don't have infrastructure to solve yet- and tripling it.
It doesn't increase the total amount of energy needed vs regular evs. It might lead to higher power drain at certain popular charging times though. It also gives us the technology to help with that in the form of better energy storage. It sounds like they have improved energy density of batteries considerably to fit that range into an EV. That's something we will need in the energy grid going forward.
It's also possible to restrict charging rate during peak times to reduce load on the grid. There are other tricks that are possible as well including using connected vehicles not in use as additional energy storage for the grid.
If you can get enough electricity for EVs in the first place then this technology would actually be helpful overall I think.
And increasing the power available to every house, lamp post and car park is a big problem. It requires more investment than most utility companies are willing/able to make
Well that sucks.
Not really home charging times aren't really a problem. You do don't refuel a fossil fuel car at home.
The perception for me and maybe others is, I'll drive somewhere and not be able to charge my vehicle unless I'm at home. That said, if a battery can last fricken 700 miles it's a moot concern.
More and more places with electric car charging are available. Eventually we will replace gas stations with them. This strikes me as being far from reality and narrow minded at the same time. Maybe it's different where you live?
Probably. I live in the South where trucks are more common than sense.
