A battery that recharges in just 15 seconds has been developed using graphene by Estonia-based Skeleton Technologies and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany.
Named the SuperBattery, the groundbreaking power source will revolutionize the world of electric vehicles, which has been suffering from slow charging, battery degradation, and range anxiety.
The super fast recharger is already garnering a fair amount of attention and the collaborators have already potentially confirmed a €1 billion contract with a well-known automotive company, which will see the battery get onto the market, per ECI.
Graphene R&D has exploded in the last decade. Pretty fascinating stuff. I am more familiar with the medical implications and potential, but the spectrum of potential use for it is huge. This battery tech sure could lead to a tipping point in regards to embracing electrical cars.
Dang, 15 seconds huh? That's super fast. Hopefully a battery like that will be in the future generations of smartphones.
