Comment on Fully Charged in Just 6 Minutes – Groundbreaking Technique Could Revolutionize EV Charging

• FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  If you’re going on a long trip and don’t want to wait for charging, there are plenty of gas-powered options available to you.

    And where did I say anything to the contrary?

    I addressed the asshole attacking individuals who will use that option.

    thats no argument if u want the car to be mass adopted. not everyone lives in california, or the netherlands.

      If you have ICE cars to rent for the rare trips longer than the distance the car can travel on one charge, not many will be on the roads.

        the point of using EVs is to phase out ICE cars, not to make them rarer to use.Current EVs are still unreliable to achieve this, since the manufecturer is not running a charity and wants to turn a profit on those, ie Tesla. Fossil is a finite ressource. Also Once they produce a car that has at least double the battery size and costs only 30k$ that i would use for the next 50 years, then my purchase of those could be justified.

  Really though, if you’re reaching the end of your battery capacity with a lot of EVs out there today, you’ve probably been driving for about 3-4 hours or so, if not longer, the general recommendations I’ve seen are you should really stop and get a 15 minute break about every 2 hours to stretch your legs, prevent fatigue, increase alertness, etc.so that’s pretty much in line with the recommendations. I know that’s pretty much the rhythm I and most other people I’ve ridden with tend to fall into on road trips without even trying. And very often despite my best efforts, rest stops tend to end up lasting around a half hour anyway because of checkout or bathroom lines, or one of my travel companions taking their time ordering food or getting distracted somewhere.

  I get that some people can just power through much longer drives, and I’ve occasionally done it, but honestly it’s probably for the best if people are made to stop every couple hours and hit the reset button on their brains, a lot of people are shitty enough drivers when they’re fresh and well-rested, let alone after theyve been screaming down the interstate at 70mph for hours, and their brain is getting fatigued.

    It’s double the recommendation in a best case scenario. It’s 4x as long a wait if you have to get in a queue.

    I’ve never had a rest stop that takes more than 10 minutes and that’s if I have my toddler and wife.

    If you want to stay forcing some drive time limits on people go ahead and try. But saying YOU get tired so everyone else must only be able to handle 2 hours at a time is insane. I’d be far far more tired showing up to my destination after an extra hour or two off driving and probably getting dark at that time.

      I call BS. I have given diaper changes to my kids on the road that take more than 10 minutes. I won’t even mention lunch breaks, dinner breaks mid morning snack breaks, pooping breaks etc.

        Diaper changes are a 45 second affair, 3 minutes of us a mess, and we’re post that personally. We’re in and out and have our own food packed. I commonly don’t need to use the rest room and do the wife will take care of everything while I hang out at the pump and pick her up. 5 minutes.

        Not everyone lolygags around

      true. resting each 2-4 hours is nonsense. a solid 8 hour drive and u get to sleep at ur own regular bed time beats them all. Evs need double the mileage (thus double the battery capacity and charging speed) so they could achieve this. other than that, it is just a car for vegans.

        how about you recognize that you use case is very much in the minority and covered by alternative solutions like Hydrogenation powered cars?

        sure you might want a car with 1000 km range and you can get that along with semi-trucks you can hop on the Hydrogen platform , but statistics show that the vast majority of driving people do is well within the ranges of current BEVs, so why make all cars carry around all that extra weight, the expensive batteries when the vast majority of it won’t ever be used?

  That’s a very defensive response. You’re mocking the above poster because they “can’t deal with physics” but you seem to be neglecting biology yourself.

  Driving something like 400km would take a good 4-6 hours depending on traffic. As a flesh and blood human you need to at least stop for the toilet, you should eat something to keep your energy levels up and you must always stay hydrated. Sure, you can power your body through that, but you can also power your body through 48 hours without sleep or an entire KFC bucket of chicken all to yourself - just because you can doesn’t mean you should or that it’s healthy. The difference in this case is that fatigue can lead to deaths, not just your own but whatever poor sucker you happened to drive into because you have been driving for 6 hours straight and lost concentration at just the wrong time.

  Please do come back and claim that you don’t lose concentration and that you don’t need to stop every few hours because your reaction times and concentration levels are just fine. There isn’t a human on the planet that can make such a claim. Again: just because you can does not mean you should.

    in the defense of the comment above, a chicken bucket would keep me full for 8 hours. and pissing would probably take 5 min or so. it could be less if a piss bottle is used and one needs to get to his destination quick and have no time to look for a destinantion restroom.

  In the EU it’s mandated by law to rest after a few hours of driving. You shouldn’t be driving 9 hours continuously like ever.

    This is not true for private citizens in their own cars.

      yea, thats for trucks. u would need a special monitoring system that monitors driver’s hours of driving. troll comment above.

      Correct. But if you get in an accident after driving very long without a break, that will definitely be counted against you in court.

  Congratulations. That’s the dumbest take I’ve read on social media in weeks. That’s downright Reddit levels of stupidity. Why don’t you slink off back into whatever hole you crawled out from?

  Hyundai EVs that use 350KW charging get to 80% in 15 minutes.

  if you are in the very-very small percentage that needs faster fueling and more range you will have Hydrogen options.
