By Eve
Chinese automotive group Geely has announced a new electric vehicle battery technology capable of charging from 10% to 80% capacity in just over five minutes, according to Engineering and Technology Magazine. The development represents a significant advancement in fast charging capabilities for electric vehicles. The announcement provides insight into emerging battery technology that could influence future charging infrastructure requirements.
Why it matters: Faster charging batteries may reduce dwell times at charging points, potentially increasing site throughput and affecting the business case for high power charger deployments. CPOs and infrastructure planners will need to assess whether existing charging networks can support the power delivery rates required by such rapid charging technology.
