What is the fastest charging EV battery?

These new batteries offer 5.5C ultra-fast charging, allowing vehicles to charge from 10% to 80% state of charge (SOC) in just 10-and-a-half minutes, making it the fastest charging EV battery in the world.

Which battery cell has the fastest recharging speed?

General Motors’ major joint venture in China and electric vehicle battery manufacturing specialist CATL have launched a new lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell with the first 6C ultra-fast charge multiplier, enabling the highest recharging speed available in an electric vehicle to date.

Is zeekr the world's fastest-charging EV battery?

Many of its EVs ride on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA)—also shared by other Geely Group brands like Volvo and Polestar —and it claims to have developed the world’s fastest-charging EV battery. Zeekr claims its Golden battery supports a 5.5 C-rate, meaning it can charge or discharge at 5.5 times its total capacity per hour.

Is zeekr's Golden Battery the fastest-charging battery in the world?

Geely-owned, Chinese brand Zeekr last year revealed its Golden battery, claimed to be the fastest-charging in the world. The lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) pack with prismatic cells was claimed to charge from 10-80% in just 10.5 minutes when plugged into a suitably powerful charger. Zeekr wasn't lying.

How far can a battery cell charge an EV?

Remarkably, the new LFP battery cell introduced by SAIC-GM and CATL can add a range of 200 km or 124 miles to an EV in just five minutes of DC fast charging. The C in the industry charging classification describes the battery cell’s charge multiplier.

How long does it take a battery to charge?

At a rate of 1C, for example, a battery would charge in one hour. A rate of 2C would halve that time to 30 minutes. A Tesla Model S briefly charged at a peak of 2.5C in one of our tests, for reference. The Golden Battery is a big leap. Zeekr says it can charge from 10-80% in just 10.5 minutes.
