We can no longer use the excuse of the time it takes to charge the battery, so as not to buy an electric car.
A UK-based start-up called Echion Technologies will market next year a technology that allows the charging times of lithium-ion batteries to be greatly reduced.
Apparently, researchers have developed a type of powder or salt that replaces graphite inside the cells of lithium batteries and this improves rechargeability.
The electrolyte commonly used in lithium batteries is lithium salt, a material that can be flammable when subjected to very fast recharge times.
Simply replace the lithium salt with this "secret" ingredient and the batteries can be charged, as advertised, in 6 minutes.
