Breakthrough in electric car batteries: 500 miles of range with 12 minutes of charging time

[Redaktion]

A breakthrough in electric car batteries could drastically shorten charging times while significantly increasing range. Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have reportedly developed an electrolyte that prevents the formation of dendrites, thus overcoming the central weakness of lithium-metal batteries.

Feasible? Sure, you just need a nuclear reactor for every charging point.

the industrial production of special electrolytes may be costly. It also remains to be seen how the batteries will perform in long-term tests with higher cycle counts.

So...not a breakthrough.   Like every other "Hey we developed a new way of charging batteries in a few years, we just have to ramp it up to production, keep costs low, etc. etc..."

Without a scalable production process, it's niche and a preview of absolutely nothing to us measly consumers.

Even the first few Solid State batteries in production offer no advantage over LI-Ion that benefits the consumer.

AI-Dumb article.

The article summary kinda mentions a solid electrolyte.
And they mention a respectable 386 Wh kg energy density.
But no mention of even a projected lifespan. Which is weird since the dendrite problem they are solving is mostly affecting the lifespan/safety.

With so much efforts& so much demand for cleaner energy
The biggest drawback is chargeing time
I wait for a system which can charge from household 220v a quicker way to benefit  from 8kw solar system reducing tbe time to charge
