A new company makes an EV battery that can be fully charged in three minutes and lasts for 20 years. With lithium-metal technology, the battery can be charged and discharged more than 10,000 times over its lifetime.

The company wants to reach out to homes that don’t have garages. Thus can’t charge their electric vehicles (EV) overnight at home. Also, the company thinks EVs is one of the best ways to fight climate change.

But for electric vehicles (EVs) to become more popular, batteries need to be changed to fit the needs of a wide range of customers. Electric vehicles need to be able to recharge more or less in the time that you would spend currently at the petrol pump station.

This idea comes from a new company called Adden Energy, which is backed by Harvard University.

Key Facts!

• After showing that a coin-cell prototype could be charged between 5,000 and 10,000 times, the startup will now improve the technology.
• This is a big difference from the best batteries in their class, which can only be charged 2,000 to 3,000 times.
• The company has received money to improve the technology and get the battery ready for sale.
• Electric cars can be fully charged in three minutes.
• They also last more than twice as long as the EV battery today.
• The EV battery lasts for 20 years.
• The company thinks that it is important for the fast development of technology that can store clean energy.
• Several studies have found that if every vehicle on the planet was powered by electricity, greenhouse gas emissions would go down by 16%.
