Makes me think about the third-rate makers whose EV batteries consist of nothing but hundreds or thousands of LiPo cells soldered together then packed in a plastic container.

Isn't that just a modern Tesla at this point?
15 years ago it was a revolutionary idea

So is being claimed
Let's just say that China (or hell, companies in general) has a habit of great claims. I'll believe it when I see it

wtf is that headline. Its a nice improvement but I wouldnt go that far. Its 5-10mins afters and has a better operating temp(allegedly) and ~10-20% extra range. Its nice but the gap isnt that huge.
Copium
Those are some impressive numbers but I'm skeptical of anything China claims about their own tech. I don't doubt their battery tech is great but I've seen so many AI/CGI videos of their humanoid robots doing crazy shit and people online are eating it up.

Who spends 12 minutes putting petrol in their car?
Given the responses and the downvotes i can only assume that people have misunderstood the post. I’m not saying “electric bad because long change time“. I’m responding to the claim in the article that it takes the same amount of time as refuelling a combustion engine. This is not true
The only Fast Charging most EV owners do is on road trips. The rest is more like plugging your cell phone in while you sleep. So the relevant comparison is: how long do you usually stop for a bio-break & snack+checkout. I wish I could get the family in and out a convenience store as fast as the EV6 charges (though it's much slower than Blade2's high-speed charge).
Of course, most petrol users fuel-up weekly in the USA, so the petrol car is starting each road trip at a disadvantage. If you fuel-up with petrol for 4 minutes, 4x/month, and road-trip 1x/month, then the petrol car starts each road trip 16 minutes behind.
Don't worry about down votes, this isn't reddit. That said, useful context from the article is always helpful to prompt meaningful discussion.
Oh, i don’t care. It was just a cute that maybe i should have quoted the sentence i was referencing
Who spends 12 minutes putting petrol in their car?
A lot of people plug in the gas hose, then waddle into the station for delicious sushi, case of beer, rotary hot dog. Lot longer than 12 minutes before they waddle back out again.
