This kind of extreme charging will definitely find a role, but it will be like filling an ICE car on the motorway - something expensive and to be avoided if possible.

Tesla's can charge in about 20 minutes, however I think they will speed that up when they have more experience with the 4680 batteries in the wild. They sped up the charge speeds of the 2170 battery cars in 2019. I discovered that right after I bought a car with 18650 cells. My car is from 2015 and charges at a liesurely 45 minutes, but still has nearly all it's range after over 100,000 miles. The difference is likely to come down to China building it's electrical infrastructure within the last 50 years and a lot of the US infrastructure built 100 years ago. The US infrastructure needs upgrading to take advantage of the future advancements.

The Ionic 5 and EV6 go from 10-80% in 18 minutes, and those are larger batteries than the 60kw that this car you're charging has so it's adding significantly more kilowatts in that time (around 50kw vs. around 30kw here, so almost double). The Lucid adds 200 miles (322 kilometers) in 11 minutes. And those have been independently confirmed by actual owners, not a company's claims. So what is better here that is not already out? Can someone point it out to me? Also, I noticed that it raises the AMPs to get to the 220kw shown, not the Voltage, which is really, really bad for the battery. As opposed to raising the voltage which is much easier on the battery. I'm confused about what is being shown that is any better than what we already have.

The difference is in the battery, I think - which means it can *sustain* that charging level from 30% to 80% (even at 83%, it was still pulling ~220kWh). Most cars currently will hit their peak at around 10%-15%, and then charging rates will drop significantly, and plateau... then drop again around 50%, etc. It's also likely that it did go higher than ~220kWh... but even if it didn't, that's a 50% charge (30-80%) in 10 mins... meaning it put over 35kWh into the battery in that time.
@rogerphelps9939

The voltage and current into a battery are inextricably linked. If you try to raise the voltage the current will go up accordingly. If the charger cannot provide the current, the voltage cannot rise. Perhaps you are referring to 800-volt charging. In that case the battery is split into two parts that are temporarily connected in series rather than in parallel. With 800 volt charging it is possible to charge at twice the 400 volt rate without increasing the charging current.

WA has just announced with great fanfare that is installing the longest electric highway stating "Each charging location will be fitted with a standard charger and a 150kW DC fast charger". Why even bother with the standard charger (complete waste of space, time and money) and even the fast charger at 150KW will be considered slow by the time it has all been rolled out - they should be aiming for a 150KW and 300KW at each location. This video reminds me of the improvements in microchips where speed and memory were doubling every year.

The majority may charge at home currently but that is simply because buying an EV is generally only a reasonable choice if you have a home and a garage to charge from. Only 63% of owners of housing units, and 37% of renters have access to a garage or covered parking (2015 data) and likely very, very few of those spots have charger access. While, theoretically you won't need nearly as many public chargers as we have gas pumps, given a notable percentage of owners that will be able to charge from home or office, there is still a insanely massive increase in fast charging units needed to get to where electric cars are an option for all.

Fast charging is expensive though, basically the same price as filling up with gas. If an EV is just sitting there with the AC on, the battery is so big it could run for several days straight with the AC without needing to recharge. If you really were in a situation where you need to run the AC during the day, just go park at a public level 2 charger for a few hours twice a week, which would keep the car fully charged and be much cheaper than DC fast charging.

So a 3C charging rate for an 80kWh pack is just 240kW, a rate that Tesla have had for years and several other companies as well. What would be impressive is if they are maintaining that rate from 0-80% since it is the area under the charge curve that denotes the energy that has been transferred. A bit more technical detail of the charge curve would have been very useful. A 6C charge rate is 480kW, which is definitely a change, but once again the charge curve needs to be understood to see what this means. The other issue is the charging standards in use around the world. GB/T is officially limited to 250kW as far as I can tell, and CCS is limited to 350kW. MCS from CharIn can do 3.75MW but with a far larger connector designed for trucks. XPeng have a 480kW charging connector, but this gets into the same proprietary problems that Tesla have in the US and other markets where they use their slimline plug. There is a long way to go before really fast charging becomes a reality, but this does look like a good first step.

Being into FPV I never understood the approach to batteries for electric cars. Stuffing 7k cells into pack means that we cannot monitor all the cells separately, It would be quite an undertaking to match them as well. Not sure if matching is being done, should be as industry standard. With larger cells as shown we can actually monitor each cell, whats more we can match it. For people wondering why it bothers me: Not matched cells, where resistance differs too much mean more stress on unmatched cell leading to premature failure. I fly high performance racing drones, currently setups using single 6 cell batteries and I have seen many fires over the years. Lots of first hand experience, class D fires are fun as well. Anyways, both matching and monitoring matters. Good move from this manufacturer.

I think the main advantage of this extreme fast charging is that for most people, it will eliminate the need to buy cars with huge batteries. The vast majority of people don’t drive more than 150-200 kms a day, so a 40 kWh battery would be perfectly enough - and if you can fast charge it in 3-5 mins even a smaller battery works for the occasional longer trips. Smaller but super fast charging batteries would mean cheaper and lighter cars which would be much more affordable than today’s EVs.

I think you are forgetting two things. ICE technology is hopelessly inefficient, so the fact that fossil fuels are energy dense is largely cancelled out by the fact that you throw away 70-80% of that energy as heat. Secondly, filling an ICE car requires a special trip EVERY time, which nearly always requires longer to pay than to actually fill up the fuel, whereas the vast majority of EV charging is done on a “park, plug-in, go and do something else” basis. One of the greatest pleasures I have as an EV owner is that I almost never have to rapid-charge it, so the days of standing next to my car holding a stinking fuel hose, and then going into a building to pay are history.

Very high speed charging is only possible if you have very large amounts of power available at the location. That seems obvious, but is always overlooked in the discussion which seem to focus only on the battery technology. If you want to put 50 kWh for example into a battery, whatever battery that might be, the power requirement gets huge as the time goes down. To do that in 2 minutes as you suggested in the video requires a power of 1.5 MW. If you have 3 charging stalls all of the sudden that site needs almost 5 WM of power capacity. That's the same as a large factory or a huge office building. Current petrol fueling stations only have power capacities of around 200 kW, so you aren't going to be converting those into fast charging sites.

@@JamesScholesUK yeah just got to that part, though I’m still skeptical. They can claim there is warranty and claim how much deg there will be but kinda a grain of salt type situation in my mind until a reputable third party can verify that.

@@marvintpandroid2213 totally, I just like thinking about worst case scenarios as a way to judge how well they’d perform for most use cases below that. Even here in the US with great consumer protection laws many have had issue with warranty work. Wonder how easy or convenient it is to do similar in China.

It's a non issue, for cars at least. Let's say it shortens the batter life by 2/3, which is quite pessimistic, it would still make it to 500 cycles and that would be 200k miles. Few cars reach that mileage. For trucks though, it could be a problem, but then again, trucks should be charging at night so the driver can rest. And by then it doesn't need such fast charging.

Elliot's FC videos out of China never cease to impress me. China is definitely not half-arsing around when it comes to electrification technology. You know what else this kicks into the weeds? Hydrogen. That non-starter technology for small passenger/cargo transport that is being pushed hard by oil/gas companies. Dare I wonder whether those pouch batteries were Solid-State, or close to it? And how many cycles would they manage before massive degradation hit. Never mind. Advanced battery research is still in relative infancy - there's never been the demand, until now - and I expect rapid improvements to occur once battery scientists really get to grips with the chemistries.

Love how they rave about it all being environmentally friendly, yet the factory is the size of a town and they clearly had to cut down a massive forest to just build the factory to make the batteries

Fast charging depletes the battery life quicker. Why don't you mention that?

He does. Elliot explains the impact on degradation around 7:00 - it's new battery technology that's far less susceptible.

It doesn't, if you only slow charge at home then an occasional fast charge can be good for a battery.

Because you are WRONG. The only real practical way to own an Electric Car is to charge on Level 2 AC. The rare occasions where you need a DC Fast Charger has NEGLIBLE effect on battery health. The need to frequently deplete the full 250 miles in one day is just not practical.

Wouldn't that just stress the battery and shorten it's life cycle? They states some very optimistic numbers. I hope their technology is real, but I am also sceptical.

Hey, not sure if you missed it but the battery is guaranteed for 1,000,000km and has tiny degradation even if always super fast charged. Sounds too good to be true I agree, check the guarantee small print 😉

Well he answers that later in the video, I was also wondeirng. To me it is still too good to be true, because if they have all that together why do they not come to Europe and beat the shit out of all legacy carmakers? Even T3slamwould be under huuuuge pressure
