Don't get me wrong, I'm all for this but I remember reading a comment on here a while back saying that to get that kind of energy jammed into a battery that quickly you'd need a cable as thick as a telephone pole to keep it from glowing like a toaster coil.

Yeaaahh, I'll press x to doubt, yet again.
First off, 745 miles range on a battery is a weird thing as batteries don't drive. Cars, bikes and the such do, batteries use mAH for example.
Second, any "revolutionary batter" is bullshit. Why? Because I've seen about 3625 revolutionary new batteries in the past 30 years, and 99.99% of them have been bullshit.
Batteries are pretty much at the upper level of what's possible with batteries as we currently have them, so either we switch to something revolutionary as antimatter batteries or something else esoteric, or wel'll be happy to add 5% to what we already got.
I will never buy an ev until it has at least a 500 mile drive in it and less than an hour full recharge..
Yes I drive less than 10 miles on average daily. More typically, half that. But my immediate family is 250 miles away, extended is more than 500. And I have a lot of Boomer funerals coming up.
