The world’s largest battery manufacturer has announced a model of what it says is the world’s first “ultra-fast charging” battery, capable of providing energy for a 400-kilometre walk, when charging for just 10 minutes.
The Chinese CALT police described its new “lithium-ion” battery as representing a new era for electric cars, and eliminating concerns about the distance it can travel, according to the British newspaper “The Independent”.
What are the most prominent capabilities of the “revolutionary” battery?
• When fully charged, the battery will provide the car with enough charge to travel over 700 km without the need to recharge.
• According to the battery manufacturer, it was able to achieve its achievement through a “new superconducting electrolyte formula” that leads to improved conductivity, noting that the “electrolyte” is any substance that contains free ions that form a medium that conducts electricity.
• According to the company’s chief scientist, Dr. Wu Kai, it is necessary to innovate in the field of electric car batteries, and to make advanced technology in this field accessible to consumers of this category of vehicles.
• The company, which was the world’s first in 2022 in terms of battery production, plans to start producing its “revolutionary” battery later this year.
• The company did not reveal which car makers are interested in the battery or who will get it first, knowing that its list of customers includes companies such as Toyota, Honda, Tesla, Volvo, Volkswagen, BMW and Daimler.
• Electric vehicle sales have witnessed record growth in recent years, with more than 10 million vehicles sold last year, yet they still represent less than a fifth of total vehicle sales of all categories.
