Yes, great, hooray, let's make batteries bigger and charge faster. No doubt.
But until my local Electrify America station can even keep a handful of chargers running at their rated power values more than 0% of the time, I don't see the infrastructure to be able to charge in anything approaching 10 minutes.
The car battery tech is already really good, especially the past few years. I love my EV, and charging it at home is amazing. But the public infrastructure can't keep up with the battery charge rates we have now, much less the monster chargers that will be necessary to put 700+ miles worth of electrons in my fancy new solid state battery in 10 minutes.
So while I applaud advances in battery tech, I have to wonder when we are going to get serious about the infrastructure to support them.
