Penn State team devises solution for fast charging of Li-ion batteries at cold temperatures

Green Car Congress

Fast charging is seen as a solution for range and recharging time issues for EVs. Now, a team from Penn State has devised an approach that enables 15-min fast charging of Li-ion batteries in any temperatures (even at ? at 0 °C to prevent lithium plating, which explains the long recharge time of today’s EVs at low temperatures.

Are electric vehicles safer than combustion engine vehicles?

Electric Vehicles India

Yesterday also we get to hear a similar incident from Okinawa where the electric scooter had been parked in a garage and being recharged in the night when a blast had occurred. Firstly if we look at the conventional vehicles which use internal combustion engines, it is challenging to replace an ICE vehicle with an electric one.
