The Toshiba battey can be charged to 80% in few minutes.


Yes, but the energy stored must be brought to the battery - fine for a
few, much new infrastructure to generate and distribute the energy we
use today.

Almost as quick and half as fast
as my petrol car which can be refuelled
in ~3minutes every ~300-400miles.


But your petrol car is an antiquate piece of junk that pollutes and wastes
like mad. A 200 - 300 mile range of an EV can be charged in 3 to 5 mins.
400? What desert are you crossing today?

Then Google on Lithium Ion and Lithium Poly. FIND OUT instead of making
a prat of yourself. There is enough idiotic prats on these groups
without adding to the numbers.


Current hydrocarbon fuels offer an
unrivalled power density,
