EV Charging in Less Than 15 Minutes

WITH LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES ALREADY BEING CONSIDERED IMPRACTICAL for large-scale application by those within the industry, it’s only a matter of time before the post-lithium era, spoken about by leading technology giants, becomes a reality. Log 9 have been working on enhancing electric mobility for the past three years, continually developing technologically advanced power storage and power generation solutions designed for specific platforms in a bid to push for faster EV adoption. Their new rapidcharging batteries should help this cause greatly.

The new rapid-charging batteries are the first-ever fast-charging twoand three-wheeler energy storage solutions in India using super-capacitor technology. They take less than 15 minutes to charge for a range of more than 60 kilometres. More importantly, they also last for 15 years or more, thus lowering the lifetime running cost considerably.

These packs offer up to five times more peak power, resulting in increased load-bearing capacity and acceleration. They are also safer in terms of fire- and impactresistance compared to lithium-ion batteries. Log 9’s battery packs promise a true range of more than 70 km for two-wheelers.

Large-scale pilots have already commenced in partnership with companies such as Amazon, Vogo, Shadowfax, and Delhivery, among other key fleet operators.
