*With the right charging infrastructure, which will likely be eventually available in the amount necessary (at least in the places these cars can be sold), but the edge of tech is always way ahead of actual real world use cases.

Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

[X] Doubt
The problem isn't whether you can do it, it's that very few places have access to the electrical transmission capacity to deliver the charge that quickly.
Charging this fast is mostly useful for highways. Trucks already need 1mw charging, even if those announced so far are lower voltage. Highways have easier access to this power for not needing to share with a lot of other users. Fast charging will typically degrade battery life. In suburbs/cities, batteries, solar, hydrogen and other EVs can help a station keep up with fast charging one vehicle paying a premium for fast charging.
China infrastructure just moves much faster than elsewhere.
I'll believe it when I see it.
A video would be cool instead of photos
Just look at the photo for 5 minutes.
A video of a vehicle charging is only slightly more interesting than watching paint dry.
It's much better proof that it was actually 5 minutes and that other weird bullshit wasn't being done
The fact that there isnt a video is weird
Hah, good point
This is as close as we'll get to them in the US... Yay winning 🤡
