Leading Company in Lithium-Ion Component Production Develops 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 next-generation 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% state of charge in just 5.2 minutes.
New Battery for Electric Cars Has a Lifespan of Over 10 Years
It is important to note that the company has already used this same technology in the development of batteries for radios, laptops, mobile devices, smartwatches, and cell phones. Through the tests conducted, it was demonstrated that the battery can reach 98% of its capacity in just 10 minutes.
The demonstrations were carried out through a three-year grant program from the Department of Energy, where the company’s goal is to develop a battery for electric cars with high capacity and fast charging.

Electric and hybrid cars receive flood warnings: brands limit crossing to 20 or 30 cm, recommend up to 10 km/h, and warn that water on the floor can contaminate batteries, render systems unusable, and void the warranty.
The tests also showed that even after 1,000 charging cycles, under high temperatures, the 3D silicon batteries maintained 93% of their capacity. It was also observed that this pairing projects a lifespan of more than 10 years for Enovix batteries. Harrod Rust, president and CEO of Enovix, stated that the fast charging capability could drive mass adoption of electric cars, and the company has demonstrated 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 greater range while public and private sectors work to expand electric vehicle drivers’ access to ultra-fast chargers.
The company takes pride in supporting these goals to contribute to the electrification of the automotive industry and to demonstrate that the batteries from Enovix Corporation are an exciting option to power long-range and fast-charging electric cars.
According to Enovix co-founder and CTO Ashok Lahiri, the architecture developed by the company allows 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 most importantly, it can accelerate the industry’s 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 at the University of Science and Technology of China, the new battery takes about five to six minutes to recharge to 60%, so to reach 80%, it would only take 11 minutes.
Currently, the fastest charges can take about 20 to 30 minutes to reach 80% charge. To achieve the success of the component, the group of researchers rearranged the lithium-ion particles in the battery, distributing them evenly. This way, energy storage was not impacted.
According to the researchers, the porosity was greater at the top and lower at the bottom, serving to keep the average porosity at a normal value.
Regarding the results, laboratory tests show an advance, considering that through optimization, the new system for electric car batteries reduces the reorganization time internally.
