Do lithiums charge 4x faster than lead acid? Is this market positioning
on their part?
It might be apples and oranges, with the center 60-80% of the lithium
pack used, and say 100% of the lead acid, of course it will take hours
longer to take lead to 100%.
That black striping looks horrible. Among other things.

The car can achieve a maximum speed of 150 km per hour and
according to Vyas it will come in three battery options, the lead acid,
lithium ion and supercapacitors. “For each charge, the car can go 1,000 kms.
The lead acid version would take eight hours to charge, the lithium ion
battery would take two hours to charge, and the supercapacitors would take
less than five minutes to charge,” he claimed.
Is it just me, or does this seem too good to be true? That's twice the range of
the Tesla...on lead acids? A supercap car for $40K? Supercaps that charge that
much faster than A123 / CALB batteries -- and a charger that can handle the
current? And a paltry 150 km/h limit for a low-slung wide-track aerodynamic car
with battery pack with those specs?
I like the DeLorean / '80s Lamborghini styling. And, hell, if it's for real, I
could even imagine saving up a few pennies for one -- or, at least, its battery
pack.
I'm just very, very, very skeptical that the claims will survive past the
showroom floor.
