BYD selling a fairytale

[justoffal]

A car that charges in five minutes? Um ...no.
There are no materials on the planet that can take that kind of punishment... Not at that voltage and amperage. Even if they managed to put it together the battery life would be extremely abbreviated. Moving that much energy that quickly simply cannot be done without massive chemical erosion. I suspect BYD knows this because the founder is a degreed electrical engineer.

Let alone the battery in the car... The charging stations will wear down in a matter of weeks,
quickly becoming both fire and electrical hazards. I would be afraid to sit in the car while it was charging for fear the damn thing would blow up.

Not sure how he could let that one slip. Ain't gonna happen.

China EV maker BYD says new cars can be charged in 5 minutes

New flash-charging system can power cars for 250 miles in close to the same time it takes to refuel a gas tank.

A car that charges in five minutes? Um ...no.

Predictably, the article is short on details. There are only two ways of getting a full charge in 5 minutes (not even considering the daunting demands made of the battery materials), and that is to either increase amperage or reduce capacity.

They say 250 miles driving in 5 minutes. But we all know that means an ideal car in perfect condition operating under ideal conditions. In other words, a realistic 90-150 miles for most.

But what about the charger? 45 amps? 150 amps? The thing would be like a welding machine. Can you just imagine if we all go electric and millions of people are all drawing 100 amps at each home charging their EV?

All of that equipment, as we both know, would get the shit kicked out of it in less than 6 months, probably sooner.

Jesus Christ an industrial arc welder doesn't handle that much current! Just a foolish advertisement. The entire grid would go up in flames! Who the hell are they trying to fool?

Its emissions also exterminate viruses.

Honestly would not want to sit in a vehicle connected to that kind of power

Did they have some kind of a breakthrough?

Not to mention the costs for EV owners upgrading their home electrical service from 100-200 amps to 300 amps or more. The draw on the grid and cost to the consumer would be phenomenal.

First law in physics is: There are no free lunches.
Biden's EV mandate was about as well thought out as his "border protection plan."
