Is it magic or is it politics?

120 VAC X 12 A * 1/6th hr = 240 Whr. For 200 mi range.According to Shelby, the powertrain developed for the Ultimate Aero EV uses a lithium ion battery pack, which can be fully charged from a 110 volt AC outlet in 10 minutes.
I know - he uses a micro-fusion reactor.The details of this powertrain follow an announcement in July of last year that Shelby was working on turning the Ultimate Aero into an electric car. In that previous announcement, Shelby said its electric powertrain "will feature a revolutionary power source allowing for extended time between charging intervals with the possibility of several years between charging."
Nope, just a special 120V 2000A "outlet"!MSimon wrote: I know - he uses a micro-fusion reactor.
As I said, its either magic or politics, because it isn't any technology I ever heard of.KitemanSA wrote:Nope, just a special 120V 2000A "outlet"!MSimon wrote: I know - he uses a micro-fusion reactor.

You know - I don't think so. At .2 KWh/mile (very optimistic) That is 1.2 miles for a 10 minute charge. 7.2 miles for a 1 hr charge. 72 miles for a 10 hour charge. Roughly 200 miles for a 30 hr charge.

Just because I've never heard of this technology doesn't make it wrong, but the numbers don't work out for me. It looks to me like an error of one or two orders of magnitude. But charging in 100 minutes still doesn't work and charging in 1000 minutes (16.6 hours) is pretty lame, it seems to me.As I said, its either magic or politics, because it isn't any technology I ever heard of.
