Chinese battery promises 500 km in 12 minutes, but Norwegian charging stations can't meet the demand
Published
The Chinese company SVOLT has developed a new battery that is set to go into serial production. The company promises that a car can drive 500 kilometres after a charging time of just 12 minutes.
According to the article, no charging station in Norway can currently deliver such fast charging times. This means the battery cannot be fully utilised with Norway's current charging infrastructure. Norway has many electric cars and many fast chargers, so this is important for Norwegian drivers.
The article does not explain how the battery works, and it also does not say when it will reach the market. It is also unclear how much the battery will cost. The promise about charging time comes from the manufacturer itself, and the article does not refer to any independent tests.
If the battery works as the company says, it could affect how charging stations are built in the future. For now, however, it is only a promise, and the development should be followed closely.
