It lasts 20 years.. A battery for electric cars charges in 3 minutes
A startup has developed a solid-state battery suitable for electric cars that can be fully charged in minutes and lasts more than twice as long as current lithium-ion batteries, according to The Independent.
After the battery cell prototype achieved success with three-minute charging rates and more than 10,000 cycles in life, Harvard University's Adden Energy received $5.15 million in funding to further develop this technology, with a view to commercializing it in the future. near.
A startup has developed a solid-state battery suitable for electric cars that can be fully charged or filled in minutes and lasts twice as long as current EV batteries.
After successfully submitting and demonstrating a coin-sized battery prototype with a charging time of three minutes for a life and efficiency of more than 10,000 cycles, Harvard-affiliated Adden Energy received $5.15 million in funding to move forward. In developing this technology, with the aim of making it commercially available in the near future
Rapid developments in clean energy storage technology are critical to combating the “crisis” of climate change, say the innovators of the startup. In order to make available and benefit from these developments, Aden Energy CEO William Fitzhugh hopes to attract the 37 percent of Americans who do not have a garage in their homes, that is, who do not have the ability to charge their car batteries during the night from an electrical source in their homes.
In this context, Fitzhugh said, “Transitioning entirely to relying on electricity to power vehicles represents one of the most important steps we can take to combat climate change,” adding, “But a complete transition to adopting electric vehicles requires batteries that can meet the different needs of consumers... Electric car batteries must be invented.” Able to charge the internal combustion engine in a period equal to the time we would spend at the present time in gas stations for fuel.”
In this context, it is estimated that the comprehensive shift to electric vehicles in the world alone can reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 16 percent, and the “new model of batteries”, which is innovative today, is considered essential in order to achieve this goal.
In the same context, Sen Lee, associate professor of materials science at Harvard University and scientific advisor to “Aden Energy,” said, “Electric vehicles cannot remain an elite fashion, that is, their rate on the roads does not exceed the rate of” one percent “, if we are determined. There will be no used car market in the United States if electric vehicle batteries have only three to five years of life.”
He added, "This technology should be available to everyone... We do not see any fundamental objection to raising the level and expanding the scope of our battery technology, as this could turn the scene upside down."
