Electric car battery charges in under five minutes in track test

An electric car battery developed by UK start-up Nyobolt has successfully charged from 10% to 80% in four minutes and 37 seconds in its first live demonstration.

The sports car the Nyobolt battery was fitted to - which was tested over two days this week - achieved a range of 120 miles after four minutesDr Sai Shivareddy, co-founder of Nyobolt, told the BBC he was pleased with the results but admitted that the tests had been “nerve-wracking”. These factors prevented the firm from recreating laboratory results, in which it says the battery can charge from 0% to 100% in six minutes.

The firm also claims it has minimised degradation - it says the battery still charges to 80% after 4,000 cycles.
