Looks like young Prof Chen thinks it will reach the market in 2 years.
Any other tech in the market with Carbon nanotubes?......I don't know of any. Invented 20 yeas ago....very hard to work with.
I thought it was a misstatement to say that existing EV batteries needed 4 hours to charge. There are >100,000 EVs worldwide that can charge (to 80%) in 15-20 minutes. I've got one that's a Model Year 2013.
Studies have shown that these DC quick charges are not significantly harming the batteries in the existing fleet.
