New Chinese EV Xpeng G9 ‘better than Tesla Model Y’

[thecoder]

Xpeng claims you can get "125 miles of range from 5-mins on the charger". That's a game changer, don't you think?

Yes, I had the same thought...

Chinese electric-car manufacturer Xpeng on Friday revealed its all-new flagship SUV that comes with an ultra-high-power charger. It is the automaker’s first model designed specifically for global distribution.
The car, named G9, was unveiled at the Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition. It’s Xpeng’s fourth production model and will be the first to possess the carmaker’s latest advanced driver assistance system.
...
The SUV will also use the new-generation XPower 3.0 powertrain system with China’s first 800V high-voltage mass-production SiC platform. As a result, it will be able to charge for up to 200 kilometers (125 miles) of range in five minutes, with a maximum energy efficiency of over 95%. A Tesla Model Y will take about 45 minutes to recharge after a 30-mile commute when using a Tesla Wall Connector.
...

Would not invest in EV as it's essentially a global fraud. Zero benefit for climate change. More carbon emission than gas in most part of the world.

Hopefully Unscrubbed Coal Fired power plants that Charge these things will be mitigated.

How many coal fired electric generation power plants in china?

Most people don't know that despite 20 years of investment in renewable energy, its contribution to total energy consumption is just 2%. Even in the USA we are heavily relying on coal at about 50%. It's laughable to claim EV been clean, let alone carbon free. Yes maybe in countries like France and Germany where large fraction of their electricity comes from nuclear and wind.

Gamechanger ???? LOL
"Nickel nobiate" is the magical word.

That's already outdated.

Ford has developped already a system that loads in less than 5 minutes. The Chinese give in that time just enough to drive 125 miles.

And that is even beaten now: 2 minutes to load:
Researchers at the University of Twente claim that they have developed a new material in collaboration with German and Chinese scientists that would charge lithium-ion batteries in electric cars up to ten times faster.

Hey TradeMachine & Co., we are at the peak of an EV revolution.
We are witnessing the end of a dirty technology (stinky gaso cars) that ruled the world for more than 100 years,
and now gets replaced by clean ones, ie. by the EV tech.

What is it? Food?

Nickel niobate has also been examined in an "open and regular" crystalline form for use as the anode in a lithium ion battery. It forms a porous, nano-scale structure that eliminates the dendrite formation that can cause short circuits and other problems. The material offers energy density of 244 mAh g−1 and retains 80%+ of its capacity across 20k cycles. The manufacturing process is straightforward and does not require a clean room.[7] The anode offers a diffusion coefficient of 10−12 cm2 s−1 at 300 K, which allows fast charging/discharging at high current densities, yielding capacities of 140 and 50 mAh g−1 for 10 and 100C respectively.[8]

Nickel nobiate can transfer 10 times more power thru the cable without overheating or damaging the battery. So loading batteries takes just TWO MINUTES.

I think it is the US and its lackeys like LittleBritain and RacistoAussie that acts aggressive.

Where does the power to charge the cars come from, Boris?
