Researchers at UC San Diego, with their colleagues at other institutions, have developed a new anode material that enables lithium-ion batteries to be safely recharged within minutes for thousands of cycles. volts versus a Li/Li + reference electrode. volts versus a Li/Li + reference electrode.

Scientists from Idaho National Laboratory and the University of California San Diego have shown that slow, low-energy charging causes lithium atoms to deposit on electrodes in a disorganized way that improves charging behavior. Lithium metal is a preferred anode for high-energy rechargeable batteries. —Wang et al.

Instead of publishing token WLTP range figures, Porsche entrusted a small band of journalists – not known for light right feet – to drive the revised Taycan from San Diego to Los Angeles along Highways 405 and 5. Thanks to this new battery composition, the refreshed Taycan can now, in theory, withstand a 322kW charge.

If you don’t build something like that, people can’t refer to it. If we’re going to hit the numbers we need to hit for fleet adoption, we need as many places for those vehicles to recharge as possible. What Tesla did with their Supercharger network was really difficult because no one else had ever done anything like that.

The TES system will utilize phase change materials that operate over a range of temperatures, and the system will recharge at night by an asynchronous air-cooled enhanced heat exchanger.
