Changing how battery particles are ordered speeds up charging times without affecting energy storage

, allowing drivers to travel further without waiting as long for the vehicle to charge.

Batteries, which are largely lithium-ion, use binding agents to stick their particles together to provide a solid structure. This can create a thick battery fluid with a random distribution of particles, leading to slower charging times. The particles of thinner battery fluids are ordered to charge more quickly, but tend to store less energy.

Their battery charged to 60 per cent and 80 per cent in 5.6 and 11.4 minutes, respectively, while maintaining a high energy storage on standard tests.
