Fully Charged in Just 6 Minutes – Groundbreaking Technique Could Revolutionize EV Charging::Typically, it takes around 10 hours to charge an electric vehicle. Even with fast-charging techniques, you're still looking at a minimum of 30 minutes – and that's if there's an open spot at a charging station. If electric vehicles could charge as swiftly as we refill traditional gas vehicles, it wo

supercharging needs to become cheap to boost EV sales. say if an average tesla driver needs to recharge about 100 kwh per day, 1kwh could be produced by 5 m² of solar in 1 hour (average solar day lasts about 6 hours), then each car requires about 80 m² of solar panel area, to cover the daily needs of a single car. imagine each year 500k tesla cars join the fleet, so each year 40 km² of solar is required to feed Teslas with pure renewable energy: alot of estate is required to accomodate the electrical needs of such cars: nuclear and fossil are out of the question, so might as well start looking into fusion to achieve net 0 emission energy. Elon said before Tesla was a battery company, i think he should reconsider this and try to tackle the energy problem instead, might as well become an electrical utility company. if the price 0.13$/kwh could be democrarized among superchargers that already would be no small feat (90mpg can already be addictive haha, but people also made due with 30mpg @4$/gal using 15k$ cars) in ur case u could fully charge at home since it is cheaper, unlike how i thought about it at first)

95% of driving is within 60 miles of the house. Supercharging isn’t needed to sell EVs. Cheaper EVSs are needed to sell EVs.
