Researchers have designed a stable, lithium-metal solid state battery that can be charged and discharged at least 10,000 times -- far more cycles than have been previously demonstrated --- at a high current density. The battery technology could increase the lifetime of electric vehicles to that of the gasoline cars -- 10 to 15 years -- without the need to replace the battery. With its high current density, the battery could pave the way for electric vehicles that can fully charge within 10 to 20 minutes.

I mean even if it's a 30min full charge that's incredible. Another study mentioned a longer range too in addition to these advantages.

Born and raised Brockton. Living in Naples.
They could make a battery that never needed charging ever and I still would not buy it. It could be half the price of a petroleum engine and twice the performance and I would light it on fire.
You know why?
Because the people that want me to buy and like this are dead to me. I hope they die. From my exhaust fumes.

Different tools for different occasions. My go.to work 120 mile round trip car has always been frugal. I keep a VW Touareg for when it snows and my Coyote Mustang for when I want some performance. My wife drives a Hyundai Ioniq as her daily route is 200-250 miles. Since I don't give 2 shits about vanity or what anyone else thinks....it works well for me.

Don't you feel just a little gay driving that? Asking for a friend.

You live in Biden's America now where you will love and drive electric vehicles! :)

The problem is that when you decrease charge time the charging equipment sky rockets in price and nobody will pay what it takes to install.

Nobody? Lets hear some numbers on pricing for those stations then. Do you know what it costs to put on a quick charge station for solid state? I mean even if you forget the quick charge time altogether then and take the longer range and extended reliability it's still a win. It's not like this discovery is bad thing for batteries.

The price won't be just the charging stations. It'll be all the new power plants that have to be built to provide the power, all the new high-tension wiring needed to transport the power, etc. Tried building a power plant, lately? Because you are going to need tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, to meet the demand. Guess what? No one wants a new power plant in their neighborhood. Not even gas power plants. Good luck with coal, oil or nukes (which, if society had half a brain, everyone would be screaming for nukes, ESPECIALLY all the so-called "concerned environmentalists").

The transition from gas to electric will be huge, the infrastructure costs will be huge. These factors alone will probably keep gas and diesel in our future for another 100 years.

I just went through figuring out what I could install since I had everything ripped out between the panel and garage. Stage 2 40 amp was the max I could do. Anything else required new lines (all underground) from the pole to the power box and then new lines from the power box to the breaker box. **** doing that with a capital F. My house is only 20 years old, how many people will rip out there current panel and run all new lines to there house for stage 3 or stage 4+ charging? Not to mention the power company may refuse because the lines supplying power to your neighborhood were never sized to support that!

I did install the stage 2 40 amp receptacle, because you never know what crazy mandate may come down the line.

Here's another way to think about it: all the gasoline and diesel being burned in vehicles, right now? THAT is how much energy you are going to have to push down the power lines. But electric is more efficient than gas, you say? Yes. And there's generally 22% or so losses in transmission of electricity. then there are losses in the conversion to charge the batteries. So you come out about the same, in terms of total daily energy requirements.

Invest in copper mines.
