5 Minutes to Charge an EV? That's Where China Is Winning the Race Against Mighty U.S and Tesla

The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is poised for a significant transformation as advancements in battery technology promise to drastically reduce charging times. According to Business Insider, currently, lengthy charging durations are a major deterrent for potential EV buyers with charging times ranging from 20 minutes to over 50 hours while automakers and startups are actually racing to develop batteries that can charge in under 10 minutes.

Ramesh Narasimhan who is from the battery startup named Nyobolt actually highlighted that faster charging will enhance the customer experience while making it comparable to refueling a gas vehicle, reported Business Insider.

Pretty recent innovations include the Chinese startup Zeekr's new batteries which can charge from 10% to 80% in just over 10 minutes. Similarly, CATL has also introduced its Shenxing Plus battery which is capable of offering 600 kilometers of range after just 10 minutes of charging, asserted Business Insider.

In spite of all these advancements, challenges still remain as automakers must balance the tradeoffs between fast charging capabilities and battery size, as at the same time, larger batteries provide longer ranges but might not charge as quickly, noted Business Insider Adding onto that, the necessary high powered charging infrastructure is still developing while estimates suggest that the US will need significantly more fast chargers by the year 2030 to meet rising EV demand.
