The claimed charging times are 10% to 70% of the second-generation Blade Battery's capacity in five minutes, (and full charging in 9 minutes).....A five-minute charging time is close enough to how long it takes to fill up a regular gas-powered car with fuel, which can vary between three and five minutes from a gallon or two to full, depending on the pump.

The downside is that this only happens with BYD's fast chargers which can deliver 1,500 kW of power. There's not many of these yet outside China. Europe is getting 3,000 in 2027, but that's a small number compared to the existing 1.1 million public chargers in Europe.

Still, this is what the future looks like. The global tide has turned against fossil fuel cars, and its only slow, and then fast decay ahead for them.

9-Minute EV Charging Has Reached The Mainstream

What's the premium for that? Fast charging in general is already much more expensive than home charging.

1.5 mW of power flowing. What could happen.

Fire.

I imagine it sounded just as crazy to have thousands of gallons of highly combustible liquid in giant vats underground that are pumped up into cars
