Niobium batteries

[wtg]

One of the most common complaints from electric vehicle owners is the time it takes to recharge their cars. In some instances, such as “level 1” EV battery chargers in residential homes, that can take as long as 40 hours. Using a Tesla Supercharger, it averages out to about 20 minutes.

A Cambridge-based EV manufacturer, though, says it has developed a battery that charges in less than five minutes, roughly twice as long as it takes to fill up a gas-fueled vehicle.

Nyobolt says it has developed a 35kWh lithium-ion battery that charges from 10% to 80% in just over four and a half minutes. Additionally, it says, the battery does not show the degradation of lithium-ion batteries.

A parallel race with electric vehicles are new internal combustion fuels. Anyone posted on the ammonia fueled engine being worked on?

There is a group working on decarbonizing maritime shipping, and I believe their big idea is ammonia: https://www.gcformd.org/

As for the niobium battery, it's impressive that the battery itself can be charged quickly. The problem then becomes how the infrastructure and the charging stations can be built to support the transfer of so much energy in a short time.

First I’ve heard of this.

Interesting!
