Also a clue from one of the links is that “German industrial rate customers, cost is $200k/btc”. Their industrial rate is $0.25/kwh, and so then their claim is based on 12c/kwh utility rates. Utility rates has pretty much always been cost prohibitive. Wholesales and behind the meter power is certainly an advantage large scale mining uses.

I agree that the calculator seems to be dangerous result. Code says that 9mm 2/0 AWG copper is needed. Insulation not counted.

just searched for 1000a bms’s and they don’t seem ridiculously large. unlimited length cable needs under 1cm diameter copper as code. Not crazy either. And a calculator says that 10 feet would only have 4% voltage drop at 13awg (house wire size).

1mw chargers are proposed for trucking, and exist. A smaller battery being able to charge at 10C is the breakthrough. The cars on 1000v platform and 1086hp for $37300-$45000 announced… is a huge deal. I don’t think even expensive supercars have been announced at 1000v.

10C discharging has typically been reserved for small RC plane battery chemistries. LFP chemistries have supported charging at 10C but only with rapid degradation, compared to sane levels. Usual 30%-80% restrictions are likely to apply.

Pong

Missile command and asteroids and space invaders were a generation soon after pong. But they were much better games that made for addictive repeated play, and dream infections. Pong was a technology breaktrhough, but not that good of a game.
