Singapore Researchers Invent New Anode For Faster Battery Charging, Increased Longevity

One of the main roadblocks to wide adoption of EVs is how quickly the battery can be fully charged. While Tesla’s Supercharger could put a Model S P85D back on the road in 30 minutes to an hour, a Dodge Charger Hellcat can pull up to and away from the pump in three minutes, barring a run inside the 7-Eleven for a cup of coffee and a couple of donuts.

  • Ajla I don't have interest in owning an autonomous car. I certainly don't think I'd ever "embrace it" because I like driving my car. Would I be "scared" taking a ride in an AV in 2024? Probably, although not hysterical about it. Statistically the majority of accidents, especially fatal accidents, are caused by reckless or impaired driving. I don't do those things and the AV technology of 2024 won't really save you from other people being insane on the road.
