Dualc-Carbon Battery Charges 10X Faster than Li-Ion

05/20/2014 5:56 PM

maybe Tesla should hold off on that new battery factory. This GizMag article suggests that there is a better battery on the way.

Power Japan Plus are a materials development company and only plan on starting small scale (expensive) manufacture later this year (medical and Satellite). Satellite batteries are a long way from hundreds in a car battery array.

That said it looks very interesting, but it doesn't seem to have any real world credibility..... yet. Perhaps in a few years, but we have seen these types of lab proven only battery claims before (numerous times) so for now I will just wait and see.
