The problem is that lithium-ion cells remain expensive, heavy, and in critically short supply around the world. The Arizona-built Lucid Air sedan can also charge at just under 300 kW. Some automakers keep trying to soothe it with ever-larger and heavier battery packs, so that consumers can go farther between charges.
