This is great news. Now I need this tech transferred to electric cars.

EVs require 15 times more power to charge

this kind of speed would literally take less time than some gas stations due to queues lol

200w is very slow for cars charging speeds... tesla superchargers do 250 kw

I meant speed of charging not power used. as in: 0-100% in 8 minutes...

to do that you'd need a constant 750kW of charging, and as charging is easier when the battery is empty and harder when it approaches full, to average 750kW you'd likely need peaks in excess of 1MW... which would be pretty insane...

yes of course, that's why the hypothetical is rediculous with the technology we have right now. same way charging smartphones at more than 5W was so unimaginable 10 years ago. it's probably to a greater extent when it comes to car charging though, but who knows what charging technologies lie ahead

Look up Porsche taycan charging speeds
