That would require a charge rate of 600kw or about 3000 amps. You'd need a power station for that and leads so heavy that you wouldn't be able to carry them to the charge socket.
July 26, 20241 yr Elon Musk Announces Tesla's NEW Aluminum-ion Super Battery. 15-min Charging, 5000 Wh/kg Density https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0o68GO-JZA Efore you get too excited, it's 1000wh per kg, not 5000wh. Again, I don't know how many battery technology breakthrough stories we've seen on this forum in the last 10 years - literally 100s. None have yet been realised!
July 26, 20241 yr Not quite that bad, we already have over half that charging rate for some cars with leads easily handled. This is from just one of the companies involved, Gridserve: "That takes total High Power charger installations for the year to 118, which means we now operate 141 High Power 350kW- capable chargers at 15 locations, including our Electric Forecourts® in Norwich and Braintree – where we also have dozens of 90kW DC". No need for a power station either, there are some techniques getting round that need. 1 Lucid Air - 350 kW, 15 minutes. ... 2 Kia EV6/ Hyundai Ioniq 5 - 350kW, 18 minutes. ... 3 Hyundai Ioniq 6 - 350 kW, 18 minutes. ... 4 Genesis Electrified GV70, Genesis GV60 - 350kW, 18 minutes. ... 5 Audi E-Tron GT - 270kW, 21 minutes. ... 6 Genesis Electrified G80 - 350kW, 22 minutes. and of course there's Tesla's numerous 250kW superchargers. .

If you go into the details, none of those things give you what they say.
July 26, 20241 yr If you go into the details, none of those things give you what they say. I disagree, read the answers. All rapid and ultra rapid chargers only deliver the full amount initially and slowly and gradually phase down the rate as the battery fills, the rate falling off a cliff at 80% charged to protect the battery. The person complaining was already at 68% charge, very close to the maximum 80% delivered by a Tesla supercharger, so obviously the rate was well down at that point. But I've posted some actual total charging times for you of between 15 and 22 minutes, these are to 80% of course and on cars and batteries designed for the very high rates, enough time to drink a coffee before getting on your way. .

That's known as "cope". Most of the ones saying it could be done are probably all bots. You can see who are the actual car owners, who tried it, and all said 70kw.
July 26, 20241 yr That's known as "cope". Most of the ones saying it could be done are probably all bots. You can see who are the actual car owners, who tried it, and all said 70kw. Without knowing what charge they already had when plugging in, the numbers are meaningless. I know from my own experience how the phase down happens and it corresponds with those charge times I quoted for cars that could accept those high charge levels. Ok, you hate e-vehicles but you try too hard to convince. Remember back in January when you tried to say our buses were burning at two a week after two had burnt for the reason I'd given. No London e-bus has caught fire since and there's no way anyone round here wants the diesels back through our estate. .
