One of the biggest pain points of electric vehicles is how long they take to charge. While we have seen some recent developments in fast-charging EVs—like the Ioniq 6, which can charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes—others can take much longer. But Nyobolt recently showed off a prototype that could bring us one step closer to recharging EVs nearly as fast as we refill gas-powered vehicles. Nyobolt showed off what the new prototype could do at the Millbrook Proving Ground in England.
Mini EVs like the Eli ZERO could benefit greatly from the fast-charging battery that Nyobolt has showcased. There is a caveat, though. While being able to recharge quickly, the battery has an exceptionally smaller size and offers roughly 155 miles on a single charge. This is another pain point of the electric vehicle market, as many customers are looking for vehicles that can not only charge quickly, but can also travel for longer distances before they need to be recharged.
