About

This channel seeks to understand the issues that face our civilisation in the 21st Century and focusses on the potential solutions that will save as many lives as possible and hopefully bring about a greater level of equality in the world. The channel is not a debating forum about whether Human Induced Climate Change is a real phenomenon or not. If that's what you're after then I can highly recommend chat forums on Social Media, where people on both sides of the argument go round and round in circles achieving precisely nothing at all. That is a mug's game. And it's not my game. Anyway, outside of those caveats, I do try to keep it light and humorous wherever possible, so I hope you enjoy the content. Oh..and me... Dave Borlace. Born 1969. BSc in Technology from the Open University in the UK. After a 30 year career in People and Project Management, I now work full time on the channel thanks to the amazing folks who support me on Patreon at patreon.com/justhaveathink

Video Description

The EV battery industry just reached a major milestone with a battery that can cope with a one THOUSAND Volt, one THOUSAND Amp charger that provides a full charge in FIVE minutes. This isn't some pie-in -the -sky laboratory experiment either - it's the latest product from BYD - the world's second largest battery maker and largest EV manufacturer. BUT...do we REALLY need it?
