UK-based battery developer Nyobolt has revealed advanced battery technology that can charge fully and repeatedly in less than six minutes which the company says is a new record in automotive electrification.
A sponsor of Zemo's recent 20th Anniversary Conference, Nyobolt says that most electric vehicle batteries are big, heavy and costly, with EV costs unreachable for some buyers and with vehicles often weighing over two tonnes. Nyobolt's new battery technology is smaller and lighter and can also be fully charged in just six minutes, with a range of up to 250km.
The Nyobolt EV weighs closer to one tonne than two, uses a 35kWh battery and can provide up to 250km range in under 6 mins with existing charging infrastructure.
The company says it has tested its batteries for over 2,000 fast charge cycles without significant performance loss – paving the way for the development of ultra-efficient and lightweight EVs.
The technology is not limited to small batteries - larger packs such as those used in any luxury EV, truck or bus used today, can also be made and could be charged in a few minutes, once 1MW chargers become available.
Nyobolt’s says that its ready-to-deploy technology will go into production in early 2024 and is capable of rapid scale-up.
Sai Shivareddy, CEO of Nyobolt, said: “Unlocking the challenges faced by electric vehicle designers has been key to the development of our breakthrough fast-charging batteries. Previously, enabling a light weight fast-charging vehicle was not possible without compromising its lifetime and so people have been relying on costly and large battery packs in the vehicle. With our unique technology we have achieved a six-minute charge car, and developed smaller battery packs that can deliver more power and charge in less time."
