Penn State, EC Power use internal thermal modulation to enable stable fast charging

Green Car Congress

Our fast-charging technology works for most energy-dense batteries and will open a new possibility to downsize electric vehicle batteries from 150 to 50 kWh without causing drivers to feel range anxiety. Keeping batteries consistently at just the right temperature has been major challenge for battery engineers. Credit: EC Power.
