Electric cars could be charged in 10 minutes in future or so it is thought of. One of the ways of this being the case could be from and off of the back of Passive EV Car Charging infrastructures being set up and set in place. Rapid charging in a matter of minutes requires a high current though more and more with new advancements this is beginning to look to be more of a possibility to and for the end user. Scientists are developing rapid-charging batteries that could be in use in a couple of years.

New battery technology could give electric cars more than 200 miles of charge in as little as 10 minutes or so it is thought. Lithium ion batteries have had a dramatic impact because of their ability to store a large amount of energy in a small, compact battery and be recharged again and again. Should this be and become the case, Passive EV Car Charging could be more and more of a reality and seen more visibly far and wide, across the UK, even across Europe and the U.S. However, lithium ion batteries also present a worry for drivers: that their vehicle will run out of power mid-journey and leave them potentially facing a lengthy recharge. This seems to be the one hurdle that needs to be overcome of this type of vehicle charging to be able to work.

Now scientists say they are addressing the issue by making it much quicker and easier to charge the battery, meaning cars will spend less time at charging points and get back on the road faster. Passive EV Charging could for sure be the thing to look out for in the EV industry and it seems more and more of the manufacturers will have to create charging units around this. By heating the battery to 60C, then cooling it to room temperature, they were able to charge the battery to 80% in 10 minutes but avoid damaging it, even when repeatedly charged in this way. This alone does show how this could be made to work.

The transport sector accounted for over a third of all carbon dioxide emissions in the UK last year, the single largest source of emissions in the country. Surface vehicles, including cars and buses, form the large majority of this statistic. If the UK is going to do it’s bit, then action needs to be taken – and actions will speak much louder than words. In this sense, battery-powered and (plug-in) hybrid electric vehicles, offer a very a logical step to slashing emissions and they will in turn be able to help in this way and sense. EV Charging is for sure very much here to stay now and in time will be the sole means of purchasing and running a car.
