New Tech Could Charge EVs In As Little As 6 Minutes

Professor Won Bae Kim and his team at Korea’s POSTECH utilize electron spin of anode material to boost capacity and accelerate charging in lithium-ion batteries. The paper reporting the advance has been published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. The research was recognized for its excellence and was published as a front cover paper in Advanced Functional Materials. Charging an electric vehicle usually takes about 10 hours or longer, and even with fast-charging methods, it takes at least 30 minutes. That is assuming there is an…
