I recently read through this and was just curious what others thought the pitfalls or unforseen issues might be with quickly or steadily transitioning to such in a fairly environmentally friendly manner.

Hate the title name, but I think I have to use the article title as the title.

    I’d be afraid of wearing out a battery super fast. Outside of super long trips that require recharging to arrive, I’d much rather leave a car plugged in overnight rather than need to pay to replace batteries. Also, like @[email protected] said, it’s a lot of power at once that could get dangerous if something goes wrong or overload grids if lots of people start fast charging their cars.

    Though of course I’m sure it’s a great achievement and hopefully the research is useful.

      the power grid should either cope or be destroyed. We cannot let some beaurocrats hold back progress just because they think that utilities should be “reliable” and “safe”.
