what company makes the ever lasting battery 15min charge and 1000 miles before charging richard dobak
No EV battery company has that kind of battery ready for mass production, we are still years away from such battery technology.
If any EV battery company claims to have a battery technology today that can charge from 0% to 100% in 15 mins and go 1000 miles per charge, I wouldn’t take them serious.
Good info Henry, Thanks for helping to bring me up to speed in this tech industry. Robert
Nice to hear from you Robert, I’m happy you are finding our contents helpful.
I believe that tech unlocks the future and that’s one of the reasons I’m passionate about the industry.
