Despite its CEO railing against Biden, Tesla was more than happy to take the administration's money.

    Rumor has it that this is a temper tantrum after a competitor unveiled 10 minute charging technology.

      Seriously… If that’s true this may be the dumbest temper tantrum Elon has had yet and there are a lot of competing temper tantrums.

        Just to be clear, Toyota has been making these claims for quite a while now. Until they making examples we can purchase and verify, I’m going to continue filing these claims under “vaporware”.

          Yes, Toyota is using these announcements to dissuade customers from going electric while they continue to sell only ice and hybrid vehicles. Remember that Toyota came out with the Prius 20 years ago and have done nothing since.

          Polestar has already equipped vehicles with this tech.

            Which polestar?

            The polestar 1 is a hybrid (discontinued)

            Polestar 2 charges 20% to 80% in 28 minutes using LGES or CATL batteries depending on spec

            Polestar 3 (unreleased) charges 20% to 80% in 30 minutes using LNMC batteries

            Polestar 4 (unreleased) charges 20% to 80% in 30 minutes using LNMC batteries

            Polestar 5 (unreleased) is still in development

              The PS5, and yeah still unreleased, but already driving prototypes out in the wild. They are using the companys tech mentioned in the article and hopefully we’ll see widespread adoption after testing.

              I’m usually sceptic, but for once these new battery inventions are actually already implemented, and not just on paper or in a lab.

        Yeah it’s impressive. When this infrastructure is built-out to where I’m at 30 years from now, if I’m still alive, I might get an EV.
