“…New research reported in Joule showed that temporarily increasing the temperature of lithium-ion batteries during charging made it possible to charge them quickly without negative side effects.
“We demonstrated that we can charge an electrical vehicle in 10 minutes for a 200- to 300-mile range,” Chao-Yang Wang, a professor at Pennsylvania State University who led the research, said in a press release. “And we can do this maintaining 2,500 charging cycles, or the equivalent of half a million miles of travel.”…”
