Yes I know, EVs are a joke and the sun rises in the east, but this latest really pushes the boundaries. The Chinks have produced a battery which charges at such a rate that an EV fitted with one could be charged from flat to 100% in a few minutes. The hard of thinking on the various social media are all over this like a rash declaring that this cuts the ground from under the EV cynics and it marks the imminent death of the internal combustion engine. Simple arithmetic demolishes their case. Suppose you have a small EV battery of 30kWh capacity. You intend to charge it from 0% to100% in six minutes (keeps the maths simple). If you pretend you can reach 100% effiency in the charging you would need to supply 300kW. This would be equivalent to powering up 100 electric kettles at the same time. Your ring main in your kitchen is rated nominally at 7.5kW. You might get away with running three kettles at once but a fourth would certainly cause the circuit breaker in your consumer unit to switch you off.
As an aside, I read that Ed Miliband, beside the mandatory PPE from Oxford, has ‘A’ levels in Maths, Further Maths and Physics which means that he knows the green shit he pushed in his previous job/sinecure is a load of bollocks. My question is; what is the hidden agenda here?

I’ve come to the conclusion whatever car you get into is not as healthy as getting on a bicycle. Simple as that.
