Revving up electric car industry, Israeli firm develops 5-minute-charge battery

[megman]

Israeli company StoreDot announced Tuesday that in a landmark achievement in the electric vehicle industry, it had managed to develop the world’s first car battery that can be fully charged in just five minutes.

However, the invention will take time to become commercially feasible since the ultra-fast charge would require much higher-power chargers than are currently available, The Guardian reported.

It charges in 5 minutes!

P.S. And it discharges in 2.5!

P.P.S. They discovered WTC's B battery!

the near future is in battery development. no question about it.

Of course, the big issue will be charging stations. And even home charging stations, assuming it's not some weird electrical setup.

The closest electric charging station near me is about three miles up the road, in a private parking lot. Won't do me much good.

Electrical grid infrastructure is going to be the big issue, much like having gas stations on every three corners of the average modern street intersection.

I read it will take 100 years to replace the current petrol infrastructure in the US.

well, and there is that pesky concern that has never been addressed called the "gas tax". The tax that pays for all of the roads that these battery cars drive on. The ones that don't pay a gas tax.

Rumor I heard is they're going to mandate some sort of mileage monitoring on cars and tax based on that (I guess send you a bill?).

LOL. I guess sending a lightning bolt directly into the gas tank would fill that bitch pretty fast. But how will we know when and where lightning will strike, Marty?!

i guess if water and electric companies can read your meter without actually reading the meter, then they should have technology to capture your odometer reading without seeing inside your car.

I take issue with that statement. Here in SC they collect ever increasing "gas tax" but damn little is spent on the roads. It goes into an "infrastructure bank" that is little more than a slush fund for the legislature's pet projects.

They do read the meters. They do it electronically not manually. Electric is read through the power lines. Natural gas and water have a vehicle that passes by and does it via radio. Generally speaking.

No. I know how they do it. I just mean, if they can read those meters without looking at the actual dial wheel on the meter, then they should be able to develop some method of remotely reading an odometer.

That won't work. Think of the collection method.

One electric car mfg can updated the operating system via cellular. Easy to get info from the car that way.

Just drive the car in reverse and you can get a tax refund.

Just put it up on blocks in reverse. Like Buhler did.
