Fancy, high-powered EV charging stations are becoming common in North America. This is how they affect batteries.

Degradation Rates: EVs that use fast chargers for more than 12% of their total charging sessions experience an annual degradation rate of 2.5%. In contrast, those that rely on fast charging less ...

Electric vehicles have long forced drivers to choose between fast charging and long battery life, with high currents blamed for premature degradation. A new wave of research and commercial prototypes ...

According to data published by GeoTab, the average annual battery degradation rate for EVs is only around 2.3 percent – much lower than most car owners expect.

StoreDot's extreme fast charging (XFC) technology offers OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) a customization and production-ready battery at a high-volume scale that solves consumer charging ...

The 24-month contract, begun in last year, will focus on demonstrating EnPower’s multilayer electrode technology in the anode and cathode of a BEV-class energy cell to meet USABC’s extreme fast charge ...

Winter woes for electric vehicles may be a thing of the past. A new manufacturing process developed by the University of Michigan has led to faster charging times and longer ranges, despite ...

Storedot, an Israel-based start-up specialising in extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology for electric vehicles (EVs), claims that global OEMs don't need to compromise on energy density to ...

Electric cars might seem like a new thing, but they've actually been around for over a century. Back in 1890, an Iowa chemist came up with an early electric vehicle that could up to 14 miles per hour.
