    LiFePo batteries have supported 10C (6 minute) charging for a long time. It’s just that the battery degrades faster. Cheaper and longer life are the advantages of this chemistry. Origiinal EV/ebike chemistry has storage density advantage. SK and Japan have leadership in the latter chemistry. China in the former.

    BYD says it has cut the internal resistance of its cells to allow ions to flow more freely.

    Confidence in installing MW chargers must back a breakthrough, but some degradation will happen at 10C charge rate.
