A UK start-up, Nyobolt, showcased an electric car battery that charged from 10% to 80% in just four minutes and 37 seconds during a live demonstration. This breakthrough aims to address "range anxiety" and boost the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). The company plans to partner with existing car brands to integrate their fast-charging battery technology into EVs within a year. Despite challenges faced during the test, Nyobolt claims the battery can still charge to 80% after 4,000 cycles. The race for faster-charging batteries globally continues, with Toyota working on a solid-state battery that could charge in ten minutes, and US start-up Gravity developing a compact charger adding 200 miles of range in under 13 minutes. However, experts emphasize the need for a robust charging infrastructure to support widespread EV adoption, highlighting the importance of upgrading grids and deploying rapid chargers capable of delivering quick charges to batteries.
