While it news-releasey, if the info here is correct, it really is a major step forward.<\/p>\n

Electric Vehicles, like petroleum-driven ones, need refueling. That problem for EVs is increased by both low range and<\/i> the time it takes to recharge. Nobody wants to get stuck somewhere at a charging station that’s going to take an hour to do its job, whether running errands or going on a long trip.<\/p>\n

Worse, long charge times tie up recharging infrastructure. That infrastructure is already a problem for EVs — it’s not like there’s a charging station at every major city intersection or overpass on the interstate. If a car is tied up twenty, thirty, sixty minutes or longer, then any other EVs that need a charge at that rare spot will have to wait — or extra charging stations will need installation, at higher cost, and with more dubious return on investment for someone betting on how many EVs need charging.<\/p>\n

But a battery that lasts two hundred miles and<\/i> just takes six<\/i> minutes to charge? Heck, I’ve had stops at the gas station that were significantly longer than that. That, suddenly, makes EVs that much more practical.<\/p>\n

\nThese batteries could be in cars as soon as next year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
