eli5, why can’t we have instant phone chargers?

266 views

Hey guys, I don’t understand enough about electronics to answer this, but if my electricity at home is able to power a washing machine.
Should it not be possible to have like a super battery that goes 100% instant, and then release normal current to the phone until it’s charged? More like an instant power bank?

There’s a big difference between using the movement of electrons, which is how your washing machine is working, and storing electrical energy. Think of it like staring a water pump. It’ll move water almost instantly, but if you want to use that to fill your pool it’ll take some time. Intense scientific research is ongoing to figure out how to fill that pool faster for you.
