Just read an article in the New Scientist saying that car battery recharging could be significantly shortened - their present aim is an 80% charge in 10 minutes - by heating one of the electrodes to stop lithium plating out. The battering also lasted for thousands of cycles, equivalent to hundreds of thousands of miles. If we had spent time and effort on this technology decades ago we would already be running around in electric vehicles? (This work is being done at Penn State University.)
