For the people complaining about fast charging at home. Do you gas up your car at home? Nope. Leave the fast chargers at the stations. I dont mind slow charging at home while Im sleeping OFF PEAK hours.

These batteries have huge potential for fleet vehicles as well with high loads to break being able to recapture large amounts of energy quickly is key to diesel-hybrid work trucks.

And any great breakthroughs in batteries can be a good thing even for early adopters as they will need to eventually replace batteries anyway. Taking a early EV from 100 to 250 mile range when you have to replace batteries anyway is a great thing.
