A Chinese startup presents a revolutionary new type of battery. This could reach 1000 km of autonomy, regardless of the outside temperature.
According to many experts, the electric cars with the longest range today are Tesla’s Model S and Model 3. When the Nissan Leaf can travel up to 385 km on one charge, American cars travel on a distance of 600 km without having to stop at a charging station. That’s for theory, because as any electric car owner can attest, battery capacity can drastically drop when it’s cold.
Greater Bay Technology is thus presenting an electric battery called Phoenix, based on superconducting materials. A technology integrated into the housing makes it possible to heat the battery from -20°C to 25°C in six minuteswhich also allows it to offer optimal performance in all weathers. In an interview given to Bloomberg, Huang Xiangdong, president of the company said, “The Phoenix battery not only tackles the long charging time of EVs, but also other problems. Whether it’s hot or cold, the Phoenix battery life won’t be affected.”
This electric battery will cover 1000 km without recharging, in all weathers
Greater Bay is a relative newcomer to the battery manufacturer business. The startup has a number of interesting patents. In addition to having a range of 1000 km, which theoretically cross France from the North to Provence without stopping at a charging station, Phoenix battery cells will let you recharge your car in less time than it takes to fill up at the pump. According to its creators, the battery will be able to charge from 0 to 80% in six minutes.
The company already has cell technology at super fast charge, which fills up “in 15 minutes, for an average range of 500 km on a sufficiently powerful charger. We find the latter in the LX Plus from Aion, and this type of battery could well be found in the Tesla. Greater Bay executives are reportedly in talks with Elon Musk.
