CATL Unveils Battery With 932-Mile Range

[CKN]

A bigger than usual gas tank can get you longer range, but nothing tells you how long it will take you to pump gas without telling you the gas tank size and your fuel pump speed.

You can have a semi taking way longer to pump gas than a small car for 300 miles of range. Same with this 932 mile battery because it means nothing without telling us weight or size, and mpge of the car without the battery.

You can already get a car to go 932 mile on 1 EV charge if you have a pick up truck convert to an EV with no payload capacity and put 3x the battery in it today.

Understand-but we already know it a stated 10 minutes. Supposedly.

Well...I would know what size the vehicle was when I purchased it. Not really. If I lived in Rome (been there-parking is a BIG ISSUE)-and I bought a Smart car-or I lived on a farm and bought an F150 and both got three hundred miles-either would suit my needs-depending.

What am I missing?

I don't know how I can make this any clearer

You don't know the size of the vehicle being discussed because the announcement is just a distance claim. It's like announcing a 300 mile gas tank, it's meaningless without the rest of the information. If GM came out and said they had developed a 300 mile gas tank, would you find that announcement meaningful without any other information?

Put even more plainly: ANY battery can be a 300 mile battery if the vehicle is small enough. On the flip side, any vehicle can go 300 miles if you make the tank or battery big enough. So, without knowing the size of the tank; without knowing the size of the battery, we don't have sufficient information for this to be meaningful.

While I will respect your post-I just don't put any credence what-so-ever in Youtube being a reliable source for much of anything.
I mean who could post a video? Literally anybody. Who fact checks videos?

We are talking about the official unveiling of a new product by a giant conglomerate. These things get fact-checked, especially when the products they unveil are interesting, and the claims made - even more so.
