Oh. So this is vaporware. My opinion is also backed up by buzzwords like "2.5D," and the fact that everything in the article is written in future tense. Nothing has been demonstrated yet.

Am I the only one who thinks it weird this type of “breakthrough” announcement would come from a EV company? If they really did have such batteries, I think they’d make way more selling the battery than the car.

To charge a 400 kWH battery in 1 minute requires 24 Megawatts. That's a power supply for 24,000 houses. Have fun hooking up the high voltage lines to your car and then standing at a safe distance of 30 feet while the power flows...
