    They’re far more useful as stationary power supplies, so really, it doesn’t matter much in most cases that it can fully charge in even 2 hours.

      It depends how much power they can dump in 1 second. If more or the same as lion tech stacks then they will be viable for EVs.

      Another thing. Fast charging stationary power might be important for a distributed power grid. Currently one of the problems in some implementations is that excess power from clients cant even be accepted. Fast charging storage might be important for accepting large excess coming in from the grid.

        It’s not for any of the above. Grid systems will have many batteries and not need excessively fast charge/discharge rates. Evs still can’t really use them because they’re simply too heavy for the energy density. Longer range evs already need beef8er suspensions and chew through tires from the weight. Going even heavier with even larger batteries isn’t very feasible compared to the alternatives.
