This is exciting. I think this will push the EV sales point past the
early adopters part of the bell curve. For people who only own one car,
can't charge at home, and drive long distances often enough not to want
to rent, this will make a big difference - if GM really follows through.
I think that's a large number of people.
It also will eliminate one of the main detractors from hydrogen power.

GM's New Charging Technology to Allow for 180 Miles of Range in 10
Minutes

Electric cars have one large disadvantage when placed side-by-side with
their traditional gas-powered rivals: the time it takes to refuel.
General
Motors has begun a new partnership with Delta Americas to develop a new
technology which will charge its upcoming fleet of electric cars in
record
time.
General Motors said it is readying a fleet of 20 electric cars that
will be
capable of utilizing the newly developed chargers, enabling its
vehicles to
rapidly recharge their batteries and provide up to 180 miles of range
in
just 10 minutes. Its partner in the deal, Delta Americas, expects to
have
the final prototype of its Extreme Fast Charger (XFC) ready by 2020,
and GM
expects to have its fleet of vehicles ready only three years later, by
2023.
The new XFCs are set to outpace both Tesla's Superchargers, which can
provide current-generation cars with up to 120-kilowatts of power, as
well
as Porsche's new 350-kW chargers, by providing an unheard of 400 kW of
electricity to the vehicles. The new technology, developed with partner
Delta Americas and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, is able
to
provide a staggering 96.5 percent grid-to-vehicle efficiency, a three
percent increase than current technology, partly thanks to the use of
solid-state transformers.
“We’re thrilled to lead such an important project and have a stellar
team of
researchers and partners in place that are more than ready to take on
the
challenge of setting a new standard for EV fast charging,” said M.S.
Huang,
president of Delta Americas'. “By utilizing solid-state transformer
technology, we have the opportunity to create unprecedented charging
speed
and convenience that will ultimately help support the DOE’s strategic
goal
of increasing EV adoption across the nation.”
The numbers quoted by GM and Delta Americas are theoretical, of course,
and
are contingent on what is considered to be "tomorrow’s long-range EVs,"
or
vehicles that will provide up to 360 miles of range per charge. As
batteries
possess a higher charge, they become increasingly difficult to
recharge,
meaning that it takes less time to charge a battery from zero-to-50
percent
than from 50-to-100 percent. Delta Americas believes that its current
technology will recharge a next-generation 360-mile range battery to 50
percent in the rated 10 minutes, though they do not specify battery
capacity.
