The number of people buying the high end Tesla cars is and will be exceedingly small and no concern for the grid operators. The number of people who will buy a second probably much larger pack for their home (so they can still charge after a number of cloudy days) will also be very small. So that

I can't see why I need a high rate of charge at home. If you are economizing you never build for peak demand. However, many cars on the grid charging slowly still requires some sort of compensatory, mitigating, constructing effort. This is not how batteries for cars will be charged at home. May

This is the same stuff Altair Nano was pushing a few years back. We recharged them to 80%in less than 10 minute IIRC. They made a higher power/lower capacity prototype cell also that probably could have been recharged even faster. The drawback was always energy density, at 80Wh/kg it's just slight

So much misinformation people have. Li-batteries already last more than 2 years, they already charge in under 4 hours if the infrastructure can handle it, and why do I need a 5 minute recharge when my car is going to be parked for over 8 hours while I sleep? Don't get me wrong, this is a great disc
