These idiots don't read. The whole point was the 11 minute charging, which means you don't need to carry around a ton of battery. Sodium chemistry actually works in cold temps.

Yeah that 11 minute figure isn't a full charge tho. Elsewhere in the article they boast of a 4c charge rate, which means minimum 15 minutes, IF they're able to maintain that through the whole charge (spoiler alert: they can't)
