Moroccan Scientist Achieves Breakthrough: Electric Car Battery Charged in 6 Minutes
Thursday 17 December 2020, by
Former CNRS Research Director, Moroccan Rachid Yazami, and his team, have managed to fully recharge a battery in 6 minutes. An unprecedented event that opens the door to new opportunities for the automotive sector.
Professor Rachid Yazami is the founder since 2011 of a Singaporean company called KVI, which specializes in research on smart batteries. It is this company that has achieved this world record, using a new adaptive charging method.
KVI technicians first managed to charge a high energy density electric car battery from 0 to 100% in less than 20 minutes, before repeating the performance in 6 minutes, with a high power density battery for hybrid vehicles and for energy storage.
This is a performance worth its weight in gold, especially since a lot of research has been oriented for some time towards the rapid charging of hybrid and electric cars. Cars are not the only ones concerned by this technological breakthrough. Smartphones and any other electrical object could benefit from this major technological revolution.
