New tech to charge car batteries in 10 minutes
admin 
A little known Dutch startup called Epyon has a new technology that can charge electric car batteries in 10 minutes! The normal time for a full charge takes an everlasting 8-10 hours. If you have lead-acid or Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) then your out of luck. The fast charger system uses smart circuitry and ultracapacitors to analyse then charge a battery. This system works best with lithium ion batteries and lithium-phosphate batteries. No word on how much it’ll set you back but since its new like everything else with electric car tech we can only assume it’ll be a lot. Epyon is first targeting industrial companies that have around-the-clock needs like airports and non-stop factories.

10 minutes instead of 8 hours, now that’s something. Gott’a see if it works in real life though. Another cool thing, the Telsa Roadster, probably the only highway-ready electric vehicle, actually uses lithium ion batteries.
