12C charging rates means fast charging for small batteries. I would be perfectly happy with a 300km range car if I could recharge in 15 minutes.

I don't believe any battery news unless they are sold to customers. They are always just full of shit, like some lab batteries that just are impossible to produce.
Solid state batteries have been around the corner for 20 years.
And 1,2MW charging, unless you are directly attached to power plant, that is not something that is going to ever happen in DC charging station. The 350kW stations are already in the edge what is possible.
The US auto industry is fucked.
Not if imports are banned
The only country they will be able to sell to is the US, which is increasingly becoming less relevant an auto market.
I honestly didn't think that US made vehicles were relevant to the global market in the first place.
Tesla is American.
Was Tesla really globally relevant?
But you knew I meant traditional American brands.
nope, only in the usa where he had good propaganda, on a car with next to no QC.
Ford, GM and Stellantis are all over the world, although Stellantis (which includes Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep) isn’t American.
Also the Fords we get in Europe are completely different from the ones in the US, the two branches are almost completely separate. Different models, not produced in the same place, etc etc.
The model y was the best selling car in the entire world until recently.
No bans, just 100% tariffs to make them non-competitive to gasoline vehicles
