Charging portable electronics in 10 minutes: New architecture for lithium-ion battery anodes far outperform the current standard -- ScienceDaily
We have known for a long time that battery electric cars would be a major advance, permitting personal vehicles that do not emit carbon. Environmentally, a great step forward. However, a major problem is the time to charge an electric car's batteries. Generally overnight. But the reference above shows it is likely to be possible to have a rapid recharge set of batteries that will charge in ten minutes. This is not much different to the time required to refill a car's tank with petrol. Would this development make you willing to change to an electric vahicle?
Of course, the rapid recharge also applies to cell phones and lap tops etc.
