This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Finally I will be able to drive a thousand miles instead of walking them.
We are almost there. Doesn't the average internal combustion engine car go something like 600 to 1000 miles on a tank of fuel? If so just a little bit more and the "range anxiety" argument will no longer be valid.
No, it's more like 3-400. The key point here is not the range, but the charging time
Just a matter of faster charging, takes me maybe 5-10 minutes to fill up and pay, would take a lot longer for an EV. Certainly not an issue if every accommodation had charging points, as I'd then be unlikely to need a full charge during the day.
And yes, for regular day to day driving I would just charge at home, as I'm fortunate to have a garage. Not the case for many folks, sadly.
Definitely great news, and it's looking good that my next car will be an EV.
One car I had I could just about reach 600 miles if driving carefully on the highway. That was a diesel with a large tank. No other car I've had did better. My first car has a 300 mile range.
It's more like 300-500 miles per tank
Ah, so this actually be better than ICE in range, but time to charge will be the next challenge to tackle.
I honestly think both of those "arguments" are stupid anyway, given that you can charge it at home daily. I doubt anyone driving an ICE car empties anything close to their entire fuel tank in a single day.
How about phones? Surely Samsung would put their own new battery tech in their own phones right?
Where would you drive in your phone, bro? Don't be silly.
Do you know how big and heavy that phone would be with a car battery in it?
yeah but imagine the screen size though
A couple of these would be perfect for my flight sim!
You can even take it with you on the train!
Based on the article they are more expensive than li-ion batteries (for now), so probably not yet. And the article doesn't mention anything about this, but I imagine there would be scaling issues.
