Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

The US is going to keep falling more and more behind. US car manufacturers seem to be more interested in creating new ICE cars that are near-identical to the old ones, at prices that are higher than the Chinese manufacturers (and to a lesser extent, European manufacturers) that are truly innovating.

Yeah, its a real shame, we could have been at the front of the market if we hadn't whiffed it.

The article is missing any battery figures. From some other articles, it looks like it's charging at 1000kW or 1MW. 5 minutes of charging will give you 80KWh of power, at that rate. The car has an 85kWh battery, so that's basically empty to full in 5 minutes.
