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.
