Batteries based on the wave-like nature of charged particles could revolutionize energy storage, potentially cramming in more power at a faster rate than conventional electrochemical cells could ever hope to manage.
The Terra HP DC charger offers 120-miles of range in 8 minutes and can fill cars up at a rate nearly three times that of Tesla Superchargers.
Allego has installed the first of several ultra high speed chargers outside Frankfurt am Main, Germany. More will be added to major transportation routes by next summer.
The first network, IONITY, will see 400 charging stations capable of 350kW charging deployed across Europe by 2020. The second one, E.ON, is planning on installing 10,000 "ultra fast" charge points across Europe.
Swiss researchers from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EFPL) are claiming they have created a ground-breaking new way of charging an electric vehicle that takes only a fraction of the amount of time to fully charge a car, compared to traditional methods.
