In a little under five minutes, the BYD folks called it: 60.10%, while still maintaining a charge speed of 463 kW.

If you ask me, thats way better than these NIU battery swapping stations. Still very interesting how chinese companies really take the lead in this field.

It also doesn’t even make sense to buy up all the possible domains. It would just be a waste of money, and surely someone could come up with a domain name that you didn’t think of (fediverse-network.com).

Yeah, I think its pretty bad how Hyundai handles the issue with defective ICCUs. If this part fails so often, why does it take weeks to deliver? I’ve heard stories about people waiting more than a month for that part, and the spare part failed again after some time.

I posted this article as it really highlights the scale of electric ships. Its battery is the size of 500-1000 electric cars, yet it can only drive for 90 minutes.

The math on the charging is also interesting, it only takes 40 minutes to charge the 40 MWh battery. Thats an average charging speed of 60 MW. Impressive!

Yeah, lemmy linking can be “interesting”, as each post has a different URL on each instance

I’ve edited the link, maybe it works now

When reading this post a few minutes ago, I decided to find out how many EV models there currently are to choose from.

And I was impressed that the number surpassed 350 models by 2023, there might be now more than 500 models available (that’s just a guess, though).

Is the charging port of your ebike accessible during biking? With my e-bike, the connector is well protected while the battery is mounted.

Why is 80 mph / 130 kmh too slow for highways?

The short answer: it wouldn’t qualify for federal tax credits.

And the battery pack that powers a qualifying vehicle can’t use components or critical minerals that come from a “foreign entity of concern,” which is government-speak for adversaries like China. The rules, passed during the Biden administration, aim to spur more domestic EV and battery manufacturing, while also making the car industry less reliant on China.

But you won’t find it for AUD $20k on the australian market - this is just the price in china, converted to AUD

This news is relevant for north america. In the EU, most tesla superchargers are already open for other brands.

How would your bike charge? At home? Public charging station?

A recent announcement by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology revealed that the updated regulations — an enhancement of rules first introduced in 2020 — require that batteries must not catch fire or explode during thermal diffusion testing, and any smoke released must not harm vehicle occupants. In contrast, the older rules only mandated that an alarm be triggered five minutes before a fire or explosion.

This appears to be quite a tough requirement. Not to say it isn’t a good idea to make things safer.

I think meaningful commenting only works in trees, for example the old mailing lists.

With classic linear forums, I quickly loose track of different discussions. Good luck finding replys to a comment on page #3 when the post has 300 comments.

“So that [charging in 12 minutes] is actually the number we’re solving for,” he said. “Do we need to charge in five minutes? The answer is probably no.”

Saying “we don’t need faster charging” isn’t very convincing - especially when only the competition offers it. If Mercedes-Benz were the one offering megawatt charging, it would suddenly be marketed as the next big thing.

And I believe that we need to solve megawatt charging for a breakthrough of electric trucks and buses.

Meanwhile Donald wants to go back to coal. What does he want next, steam locomotives?

Looks like some interesting lab research:

The team needed to prevent that surface layer from forming. They did this by coating the battery with a glassy material made of lithium borate-carbonate, approximately 20 nanometers thick. The addition of this coating sped up cold charging significantly, and when combined with the channels, the team’s test cells were 500% faster to charge in subfreezing temperatures.

I’ve got it running for a few weeks now. Seems very nice

Nice list of suggestions, but implementing all of them feels a little over-the-top.
