With a charge time like that, I think I’d rather have a 500 mile range and a cheaper vehicle.
It seems like a waste to drive with a battery that could power my home for a whole month. My personal guess is that even if possible, very few cars will feature batteries larger than 100 kWh.
If you have the right hookups you can literally power your house with it in an emergency though, and more and more people (like myself) would love a nice little ERV/vanlife situation.
By the way, the current BYD Seal has an 82.2 kWh battery and a CLTC range of up to 650 km. If the prototype truly achieves 1,875 km, it would imply a battery capacity of roughly 240 kWh—nearly three times the current pack size.
The density is twice as much, so only 50% more battery mass, not impossible.
If the rumor is true, this would blow the longest range ice car out of the water.
Hopefully evs will be superior in that regard as well!
