>A breakthrough in electric vehicle battery design has enabled a 10-minute charge time for a typical EV battery. The record-breaking combination of a shorter charge time and more energy acquired for longer travel range was announced today (Oct. 12) in the journal Nature.

Such breakthroughs are a dime a dozen, the real hard part is making it commercially available

I think electric cars will be widespread like cell phones around 2030. We’ll see though…

How long did it use to take to charge?

>Depending on the source of power charging an EV, it could take days or mere minutes to significantly charge a battery. EV charging stations are typically categorized as either level 2 or level 3; however, even an outlet at home will charge your EV (albeit rather slowly). You can expect a home outlet (sometimes called a level 1 charger) to take around 40 hours to fully charge a typical EV.
>
>Level 2 chargers decrease time significantly: Most can deliver about 15-25 miles of range per hour, meaning that most EVs can be charged either overnight or during a typical work day. These are a great option to have at work or home.
>
>Level 3 is where speed is really ramped up, and there is a wide range of power output for level 3 chargers. These chargers utilize direct current (DC) power and cost a lot more money than other charging stations, so they are typically implemented in public charging infrastructure. Some level 3 chargers can top up an empty battery in as little as 30 minutes. Many are already designed to output much more power than current EV batteries can receive, so the future looks bright for extremely short charging times.

Summary and questions/answers by GPT-3:

​

The article discusses a new breakthrough in electric vehicle battery design that enables a 10-minute charge time. This is significant because it overcomes one of the major drawbacks of EVs - that they take too long to recharge. The technology relies on internal thermal modulation, an active method of temperature control to demand the best performance possible from the battery.

I told this to my parents last month. They were like what?? no way, where will we charge them?
