It sounds like GM has developed a unique charging technique for their Ultium batteries that can provide “100 miles range in 10 minutes”.
Most of the fast chargers can get you to 75-80% in 1/2 hour. It's the final 20-25% where they slow the charge rate down to protect the battery.
1/2 hour from 0 to 80% on a 210kWh battery?
I mean, if you want to keep throwing out the "what ifs".....
I’m Just curious. If it does do that, I’m really impressed.
Takes less than 5 minutes to charge up my 33 gallon fuel cell that’ll go almost 8 hrs at 70 mph.

Based on GM’s claim of “100 miles of range in 10 minutes “, it must be close to that…but only with the most powerful fast chargers.
Damn. That must be alot of amps. Those charging stations must have a 1000 amp electricity service to feed them all. Unless it’s one meter per charger.
A level 3 is usually fed by 480v 3 phase power.
That's cool, so costs you over $100 to go 500 miles. Can go further than that for less than $100 with an EV. Might take a little longer, but those doing long trips in EVs probably aren't I'm a hurry to get there, and just enjoy the drive. Do some site seeing or something while the car charges. Kind of like back in the old days of route 66 where is was more about the things you saw on the drive than the destination.Takes less than 5 minutes to charge up my 33 gallon fuel cell that’ll go almost 8 hrs at 70 mph.
Obviously I was kidding around. Don’t be so darn serious all the time. I’m just trying to lighten up the mood here a bit.
Oh, I knew you were, but others might not and would think so time with the EV bashing
plus boat, mowers, and other gas-burning nonsense I would love to have the next generation Corvette e-Ray but that's going to be stupid expensive but purpose-built to be stupid fun.
Now there's a debate I can sink my teeth into.PS We do have a bunch of Ryobi products so we're doing our part
Thanks for mentioning this. I have a cordless drill, and trimmer so I feel better about myself now.PS We do have a bunch of Ryobi products so we're doing our part
I have a Milwaukee 18v fuel trimmer which is far better than any gas trimmer I have ever used. The 8.0 battery that came with it lasts iver three uses of my yard doing the entire fence line. Has two selectable speeds full trigger speeds. The low speed works great along the fence and keeps from snapping line hitting the slat like every other trimmer.I have a lot of friends that have either gone full EV or added one to the stable. Not a single one of them has complained about them but they are also living in houses, have the resources to wire for optimal charging, etc. They're fun as heck to drive and will blow the doors off anything ICE. I have Ram TRX and that F150 will smoke it. I bought my TRX knowing I had limited towing and hauling capacity but certainly better than the F150. The EV is fun but it's also soulless. I'm not ready to "plan" my trip in an EV as I like to just get in and go. The sound of a V8 is just a part of what I love about driving. Driving is something we do a lot of and the experience of driving is why we buy certain models.
I have a 392 Rubicon, C8 Corvette, Ram TRX, and a Grand Cherokee for just me and the wife...we're a carbon nightmare
The day is coming when EVs will surpass the ICE footprint and all or most of the issues or naysaying will be replaced by more and more acceptance. We're decades away from that shift. Some of the arguments against EVs are just flat-out wrong but it's not worth the energy to dispute the claims as those that are against will stack the deck and those that are for will stack the deck.

And DeWalt sucks co.oared to Milwaukee
