A new electrolyte material has been developed in Ningde era, which can increase the charging efficiency of automobile battery by 50% under extremely cold conditions.

Thank CTOnews.com netizens for the past, Mr. Aviation's clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 6 (Xinhua)-- Wu Kai, chief scientist of Ningde Times, said at a forum in Shanghai today that the company has developed new electrolyte materials that can greatly improve the charging efficiency of current lithium-ion batteries, according to Reuters.

According to Wu Kai, Pexels of ▲, the new electrolyte can increase the charging efficiency by 50% under extremely cold conditions of-20 ℃ and 43% at normal temperature.

Winter weather conditions are a challenge for electric vehicles because cold slows the reaction inside the electrolyte solution, which transfers charge between the two electrodes of the battery. In cold conditions, batteries have to do extra work to heat electric cars, which is a further drag on mileage.

Wu Kai said that Ningde Times will be able to mass-produce batteries with a range of 400km in 10 minutes this year. At the same time, he also said that the next goal of the Ningde era is to reduce the charging time for a range of 400 kilometers to five to seven minutes.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Toyota said last month that it had overcome the durability of solid-state batteries and would put them into production as soon as 2027. In response, Wu Kai said he doubted that solid-state batteries already had the conditions for large-scale production and the ability to reduce costs.

Wu Kai pointed out: "what I am sure is that no company in the industry has been able to mass-produce solid-state batteries." they claim that they can halve costs, which is very exciting and will be very subversive, but I want to know the basis of their comparison. "
