Toyota has been secretly developing a solid-state battery for EVs with a range of 745 miles and a charge time of 10 minutes, which could revolutionize the industry.
Oops! There goes 15 minute cities.
A 60KWH battery will require 600kw for 10 min. That's 2,700 amps at 220 volts. Now, I don't know how thick that cable would have to be, but it's huge! The cable would be very stiff. Maybe if the voltage were stepped up to 2,000 volts, the amperage would go down to 300 amps. Then you could use a small 4 aught cable. I'd be interested in seeing Toyota's solution.
