That's how much time it took for Nyobolt's working EV prototype to top up its batteries from 10% to 80% charge using a 350-kilowatt DC fast charger. That's roughly the same time it takes to fill up an internal combustion car's empty gas tank-a large one, at least-making it pretty clear that EV tech is on the right track to dethrone ICE vehicles in the near future.
The secret sauce behind British-based Nyobolt's impressive charging experiment is its proprietary battery cells, which use carbon and metal oxide anode materials and have a low-impedance design and integrated power electronics.
Nyobolt claims that its 24.5-amp-hour cells have successfully gone through over 4,000 full Depth of Discharge (DoD) cycles, which equate to over 600,000 miles in the case of the lightweight two-door Nyobolt EV prototype.
The lab testing also concluded that the cells retained over 80% of their capacity after these fast-charging cycles, an impressive feat on its own.
