EV Fast charging graphene super battery - Skeleton Technologies | Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Germany

The SuperBattery is designed to be fully charged in just 15 seconds and has a huge potential in the application field of electric vehicles (EV). This energy storage system is actually a hybrid of an ultracapacitor (or supercapacitor) and a lithium-ion battery.

SuperBattery will be a “game-changer for the automotive industry” because it is expected to meet all the functional demands for a powertrain battery (e.g., rapid charging, long service life, and long-range).
