Instantly recharge batteries in vehicles
Researchers from the US have developed a safe, affordable and environment friendly method that can \'instantly recharge\' batteries of electric and hybrid vehicle.
Researchers from the US have developed a safe, affordable and environment friendly method that can 'instantly recharge' batteries of electric and hybrid vehicle.
"The biggest challenge for industry is to extend the battery life and the infrastructure needed to charge the vehicle. The greatest hurdle for drivers is the time commitment to keeping their cars fully charged," said John Cushman from Purdue University.
The innovation could expedite the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles by eliminating the time needed to stop and re-charge a conventional electric car's battery and dramatically reducing the need for new infrastructure to support re-charging stations.
"Ifbattery is developing an energy storage system that would enable drivers to fill up their electric or hybrid vehicles with fluid electrolytes to re-energise spent battery fluids much like refueling their gas tanks," added Eric Nauman, co-founder of Ifbattery.
