A leading company in the production of lithium-ion components has developed a battery for electric cars capable of reaching a full charge in just 10 minutes.
This week, the leading company in the design and production of state-of-the-art 3D Silicon lithium-ion batteries, Enovix, announced a new battery for electric cars that can fully charge in less than 10 minutes. According to the statement released by the company last Monday (13), the 0,27 aH EV test cells can charge from 0 to 80% of the state of charge in just 5,2 minutes.
New battery for electric cars has a service life of more than 10 years
It is important to emphasize that the company has already used this same technology in the development of batteries for radios, notebooks, furniture, smartwatches and cell phones. Tests have shown that the battery can reach 98% capacity in just 10 minutes.
The demonstrations were conducted through the Department of Energy's three-year grant program, where the company's goal is to develop a battery for eletric cars High capacity and fast charging.

The tests also showed that even after 1.000 charge cycles, counting on high temperatures, the 3D silicon batteries maintained 93% of their capacity. It was also observed that this pairing projects a useful life of more than 10 years for Enovix batteries. Harrod Rust, President and CEO of Enovix stated that fast charging capability could drive the mass use of electric cars and the company was able to demonstrate a level of performance that meets and exceeds many OEM roadmaps.
Battery for electric cars meets multiple demands simultaneously
Rust also concludes that electric car manufacturers are looking for a battery that supports a longer range, while the public and private sectors act to expand EV drivers' access to ultra-fast chargers.
The company is proud to support these goals to contribute to the electrification of the automotive industry and demonstrate that Enovix Corporation are an exciting option for powering long-range, fast-charging electric cars.
According to Enovix co-founder and CTO, Ashok Lahiri, the architecture developed by the company allows for a battery that not only charges in less than 10 minutes, but also delivers a high cycle life. The battery for electric cars could improve the performance of current batteries using the same chemistries, but more importantly, it could accelerate the industry landscape.
China develops battery capable of recharging 60% in just 6 minutes
Researchers have developed a new technology and according to a thesis prepared by the team of scientists from the University of Science of China, the new battery takes about five to six minutes to recharge to 60%, in this way, in order to reach 80%, it would only take 11 minutes.
Currently, the fastest charges can take around 20-30 minutes to reach 80% charge. To achieve the success of the component, the group of researchers reordered the lithium ion particles in the battery, distributing them evenly. In this way, energy storage was not impacted.
According to the researchers, the porosity was greater at the top and smaller at the bottom, helping the average porosity to have a normal value.
Regarding the results, the tests carried out in the laboratory show progress, considering that, through optimization, the new battery system for electric cars reduces the reorganization time inside.
