Just for a moment, imagine an EV battery that will provide a range of around 1,200km (746 miles), which is about twice that of many existing models, and can be recharged in around ten minutes…. Game changer! Superbatteries will transform the performance of EVs https://lnkd.in/eRwfJZ8F from The Economist

Considering an EV as the family’s next car? No shortage of options if you’re thinking of transitioning from petrol to batteries today, but here, we make a case for the smart #1 being the ideal first EV if you're coming from a premium ICE car. Full review here

Which EV car had the best total battery score for 2023? As year-end is the time for rankings and lists, an interesting overview by Bloomberg. Total Battery Score: based on relative performance around two key metrics 1️⃣ Time it takes to charge 100 miles 2️⃣ Ratio of vehicle price to total range I'm surprised to see only 1 model from a traditional Western car maker in the top 10. Are you surprised by the ranking? And do you like the concept of total battery score? Share your vision and ideas in the comments below. #EV #mobility #innovation

At last a U.K. EV one would want to own with home made battery technology! Initial testing with the running prototype this month has confirmed that its 35kWh battery can be charged from 10-80%, using a 350kW charger, in just 4min 37sec. No more waiting for those huge 45 minute charging sessions all ICE pundits say are wasting your life away with! Nyobolt has also carried out 4000 full fast-charge cycles – which it says represents travelling around 600,000 miles – and claims the battery retained more than 80% of its usable capacity. No more throwing batteries away as they don’t last that long, harm the universe and become unusable as say the pundits funded by misguided petrol head opinion. The only real negative from the article is I couldn’t see what the vehicle range with the 35kWh battery is. No good if it’s only 100 miles even with rapid 5-min charging. Let’s hope they raise substantial funding on the London Stock Exchange and create the next Tesla before being bought by another company from an overseas country! https://lnkd.in/eV68exMM
