Patent For Futuristic EV Battery Promises Full Recharge In Just 1 Minute — Is This The Future?
Carmaker Fisker Inc. has filed a patent for an EV battery that charges in 1 minute and delivers 500 miles (804.6km) of range per charge.
Henrik Fisker is best known for designing the Aston Martin DB9 among many other sports cars which dominated bedroom posters of 8-year-old boys around the world. The Danish-born designer's electric car company, Fisker Inc., recently filed a patent for new battery tech that could revolutionise the world of EVs in the future.
Fisker Inc's patent for a solid-state battery claims up to 500 miles (804km) on a single charge. However, what makes this patent grab the headlines is the claim that the unit will be able to recharge in just one minute.
The reason for the impressive range and crazy charge time is the implementation of three-dimensional solid-state electrodes with 25 times more surface area than current flat thin-film solid-state electrodes.
The 3D electrodes also feature extremely high electronic and ionic conductivity which allows for extremely fast charging and operation in cold temperature, which is an issue for current solid-state battery packs.
The new battery tech is also non-flammable something which current lithium-ion power units are susceptible to due to the fact that the new flexible solid-state battery does not use any liquid in the batteries, meaning there are no flammable liquid electrolytes.
Fisker also promises to keep costs low as the new battery tech can be tweaked to work with existing tooling.

Thinks!
Current

take

their

and
their

isn't

great
either.
However,
if

up

then
the

However, since the tech isn't expected to enter production for a few years (2023), the roar and rumble of the glorious V8s, V10s and V12s will still be the soundtrack we jam to.
