1. EV Battery gets 310 miles is a completely unscientific way to say it.
How it should be mentioned is - in 20 minutes it can take in certain KWHr of energy.
How the KWHr of energy used by various EVs are up to them, that is like how different vehicles get
different miles. In the cars which exist now, I think every KWHr gets 3 miles.
So if you have to consider that kind of a range, 100KWHr has to be stored in the battery.
Which means we have system to pump 300KW in 20 mins.
with 440V systems, the amperage required for that is 680A.
Think about the thickness of a cable we need
Think about the charger electronics we need
Maybe it might exist in industrial version,
Would it be possible to have this as a consumer version?
Forget about charging from home.
So many questions to be answered.

Isn't this old news? I saw this at least a year ago.

When is that going to change?
I can't believe these computers are built with current limiters!
