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

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 3, 2022

A team from Penn State University and start-up EC Power has developed a material-agnostic technology based on asymmetric temperature modulation with a thermally stable dual-salt electrolyte to achieve stable fast charging for Li-ion batteries. This is equivalent to a half million mile range in which every charge is a fast charge.
