8 days ago: FAST CHARGE LI-ION TO BE VERY BIG Toshiba recently unveiled a li-ion battery which they claim charges fully in just six minutes, delivering a 200-mile range on a full charge. This is a big leap from Tesla's current configuration which takes up to an hour to charge fully. Toshiba's next generation SCiB lithium ion battery replaces the conventional lithium titanium oxide anode with a titanium niobium oxide anode. The new battery maintains the longevity of the previous older configuration, promising a life cycle of 14 years, assuming a full charge and discharge cycle per day. The new technology will be feeding an already accelerating EV market that is led by Tesla and a host of European and Asian carmakers.
