That is a shit load!Article didn't mention but it will have to charge at 1500 amps for the time reduction.
As in enough to blow your feet off lol
200 amps is joke
Man the elec companies are lickin thiet chops lol

Yeah my f150 has the 36gallon tank...Five minutes to fill a car tank with gas?
Same, and I hate when you get to like 75 bucks and it starts to trickle....augh.Yeah my f150 has the 36gallon tank...
Yup...gotta fill up in 2 transactions these days...annoys meSame, and I hate when you get to like 75 bucks and it starts to trickle....augh.
Missing detail #1: the efficiency of this sucks. All that heat converting water from liquid to gas is energy lost. Probably brings the whole system down to below the level of gas. Another point: how are you going to run that kind fo current to the charging station? We going to liquid cool high tension power lines, too? Right now, the average 3-phase high-tension line distribution cabling consumes up tp 28% of the energy coming down the wire. Now you're going to heat them to the point the wires need liquid cooling?Nothing but a puff piece. A universe of fine print and details missing from this one.
Ford, who until 2 years ago didn't give a rip about EV's magically solves one of their biggest drawback. Yeah right.
I want one, sorry.Ghey
WTF who's For Lightning takes 40 minutes to charge? Whose lightning takes a charge at all?

Thanks, no thanks.
Physics forbids a solar cell with "better efficiency." Only a small portion of the sun's light is able to knock an electron loose in silicon. Any "bump" in output usually involves ways to focus more sunlight on the cell, which also increases its heat, which shortens it's life and causes its output to fall below ordinary cells.If charging @ home, what would this do to one's electric bill ??

How about a high efficiency solar panel on the roof instead ?????????????
You don’t HAVE to have 80 amps, that’s just the max charge level it can take. You can charge it on regular 15 amps if you want, but obviously the charge is significantly slower. Average cost to charge a Tesla Model S is around $15-$16, or roughly $4 every 100 miles.I found some data on the new Lightning when they debuted it. That thing requires a 100amp breaker in the panel and charges at 80 amps. Since it draws 80 amps, minimum 4 gauge copper or 2 gauge aluminum run to the charger. For quick reference a standard electric water heater draws 24-28 amps while heating. That's equivalent to almost 4 water heaters at once. Cost savings at the gas pump they say, but more than covers it on the house electric bill.
