Why are we not already able to “instant-charge” EVs, smartphones or other batteries?
In: Physics
Because the storage and movement of large amounts of electrical energy produces massive amounts of heat, and when current gen battery tech gets hot it explodes.
Ideas such as supercapacitors and such are out there, but they haven’t actually been invented.
So we charge batteries at the highest current level we safely can, and that means long charging times.
