Wow, Fisker's announcement sounds GREAT... until you hear the detail that they don't expect to mass produce the 500 mile/1-minute charge(!!) pack in volumes sufficient for cars until 'post-2023'. Whatever that means. And they should've added, "We hope." I mean, EV companies are famous for blowing deadlines. And Fisker would have to stay in business until 'post-2023' to bring this to the auto market. Last time out, they lasted 6 1/2 years before going defunct, so, it might be close. Also, regular Li-on batteries are a moving target. How much will they have improved by then? How much cheaper will they be by then? Fisker's announcement is 'WOW!' on the face of it, underwhelming once you think it through. To me, it sounds like pure investor-bait 'til proven otherwise. YMMV. (now, where'd I put my 10-Gigawatt charging adapter for that 1-minute charging time?) .
If you read the article, it says 100 miles in 7 minutes. That 1 minute/500 miles claim is click bait. 100 miles in 7 minutes is doable.
Actually it's 9 minutes, and that's for the "upcoming" E-Motion they plan to build in 2019. However they also do say they are "pursuing" the 500mile/1minute batter technology. In other news, I'm "pursuing" unicorns... [1] [1] I really should check the flame ducts...
Let's be honest, solid state or not, the only way to gain 500 miles of range in 1 minute is with battery swapping.
It's two different things. You're comparing the battery that doesn't exist now, to the battery that doesn't exist in the future. Try to keep up!
Not my entire portfolio, no... but it also wasn't my worst transaction lol. Let me put it another way: My entry into the stock market was in March of 2009. If you look at the charts, you'd think I was a genius because I pretty much timed the bottom exactly. From that point to the time I gave up - early 2015 - we saw unprecedented recovery and growth. People were easily making double digit returns, with many people making triple digit and higher. I averaged under 6%. I think Bobo the Clown's Monkey, Jeff, did better with his dartboard method than I did.
I'm smart enough to know what I'm not good at. Not quite the same as being hard on myself. And I'm out of said game. Now I have someone else choose boring mutual funds and my returns are much better.
Why would anyone believe this loser? Fisker went out of business once, was sued by Tesla for stealing ideas, and has already broken one promise about this new car's battery. The guy has no credibility. ZERO. He's not an engineer, he's a cushy designer who has no concept of FUNCTION. The old Karma was a POS. Expect the new one to be a bigger POS.
i got my mod X in june of 2019 it was the best investment i made aside of buying tesla stock at 179 it is how you comprehend your life if you do nothing then you have nothing they are always going to come out with something new and better
