Climate Change / Re: Ford “Drastically” Cutting EV Lightning Workforce Hours
« Last post by banddag on Today at 11:44:52 pm »You never addressed charging a 100 kWh battery in 6 minutes. It literally takes over a million watts to do. It would take 21 houses with modern 200 amp power panels at full capacity all at the same time to do it.
My BIL is a retired 3 tar general and is now VP of a major defense contactor. All future military vehicles. is going EV because the advantages are superior over diesel on the battlefield. He cannot tell me what they are working on but he did say current batteries are 3rd generations and they are working on 12 the generation batteries.
He did say they are perfecting batteries that can be changed out on the battlefield in 2 minutes. The zero turn commercial grade mowers a I saw on youtube are like this. Individual batteries with handles that pull out and replaced in seconds.
He was at one of the largest defense trade shows in the world in Qatar. Every defense contractor is moving forward with EV's.
I never did say this would happen overnight. ..but ev's are here to stay.
Again if you drove one you would see why. The ride/response etc is incredible.
