The new models run on electric batteries (like a Tesla)!

CATL, a name that has become synonymous with cutting-edge battery technology, continues to solidify its position as the world’s largest lithium-ion battery manufacturer. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, CATL has been a crucial player in the electric vehicle ecosystem, supplying batteries to some of the biggest names in the automotive industry, including Tesla.
Recently, CATL made headlines by unveiling its latest marvel – a new lithium-ion phosphate battery that promises to redefine the benchmarks for EV performance. This groundbreaking technology claims to add approximately 400 kilometers (around 249 miles) of range in just a 10-minute charge and enables electric vehicles to travel over 700 kilometers (around 435 miles) on a single charge. These numbers are not just incremental improvements; they represent a quantum leap in battery technology.
The implications of this new technology are far-reaching, especially for Tesla, which currently sources lithium-ion phosphate batteries from CATL. With the potential for faster charging times, increased range, and improved cold-weather performance, this new battery technology could be a game-changer, not just for Tesla but for the broader electric vehicle industry as well.

Thanks for that useful nugget of info. regarding secondary distribution systems. Does that apply to the south too? The reason I ask is because in the summer we have huge power demands to run the A/C, unlike the north which was meant to have natural gas helping with their extreme cold. Thus, I would assume, distributions in the south were already made for a heavy power demand.
Saw a EV truck charging last night near my work, as I left at 7:00. I saw the same vehicle charging this morning when I cam into work at 06:30.
Wow. So awesome it has to charge 2 times in a day!
Well played!
Exactly!
No AC in the summer, drive 55.
No heat in the winter, drive 40.
Still would get less than 200 miles per charge.
Now the question:
What power source is used to charge most electric cars?
Single phase power because that is what is available in residential areas.
They don’t put 480/60/3 phase power in residential homes.
If they did then you could run a hell of an electric charging system.
220/60/1 won’t do much as we’ve seen so far!
>Where will the electricity come from?? No one even makes an attempt to answer the question.
Or the materials (copper, lithium, rare earths, etc).
Sorry you had to waste that time. I plug my car in at home about 3 seconds and unplug it in the morning - about 3 more seconds. 6 seconds for a charging day, and I don’t charge every day. Probably takes me 2 months to spend a full 3 minutes like you did this morning.
But...I have two ICE cars as well. Will never give up ICE vehicles. EV is strictly for driving fun and fuel risk mitigation for me.
Which is a very good reason to have doubts. The best way for EV's to have a chance at being good enough for most people to choose one is if the govt gets out of the way and lets the free market drive the ingenuity. If the free market can't produce good quality EV's then EV's aren't worth making except for the use cases like my wife and I have (it makes sense for us to do most of our driving in our EV, but a week ago I advised my neighbor to think twice before she gets an EV because her car needs are different).

I here ya. You good fuel it with all the stale Bub Light as well.
I'm waiting for a Shipstone, myself.
So they'll do what conspiracy theorists in the 1950s said the oil companies had done to the special carburetor that enabled 70 MPG on passenger cars. Buy the patent and bury it forever.
There’s got to be some way to transfer to a smaller battery format, much like HD changed to SSD.......................
Why do I suspect the more they push the battery capacity and the fast charging, the higher the risk of catastrophic discharges?
Can there be a market for used EVs if you price in battery replacement?
More job security for African child-slave lithium-miners!
ABC
Always be charging
or the countries they come from. as bad as all of our elec components being made in taiwan.
This post makes NO sense.
Please revise....
“much like HD changed to SSD”
What is interesting is that solid state drives are actually a quite old tech. For example the old Atari, TI-99, and Commodore 64 cartridges were solid state disks, as opposed to magnetic floppies that were more similar to HDD technology. But magnetic drives became more popular and got the lion’s share of R&D to make them better, while solid state probably languished until magnetic drives were being pushed to their limits and people started looking for alternatives that could still be improved on easily.
