Car Battery Charging Station

480 km range in just 10 minutes of charge! New electric car battery that could be charged even faster

The biggest deterrent to making an EV buying decision is the driving range it promises and more than that, it is the fact that reloading the electric car’s battery to full takes much more time than filling up the fuel tank with fossil fuel. Most EVs around the world use lithium-ion battery packs which evolve a bit every year but we’re still to see a revolutionary tech in the field. Now though, there is a word from the Penn State University where engineers have developed a battery that can provide enough charge to drive an EV 320-480 km after a charge of only 10 minutes.
Charging an EV even at a superfast ‘supercharger’ station would take up to 50 minutes to fully charge the battery pack. But a new battery developed in the US promises otherwise.
A major issue for extreme fast charging tech has been lithium plating which can occur at high-charging rates which involves lithium depositing in spikes on the anode surface instead of being smoothly inserted into the carbon anodes. This can cause a reduction in cell capacity, cause electrical spikes, eventually leading to unsafe battery conditions.
