New electric vehicle battery offers 625 miles range and fast charging capability

A German company, FEV, and Taiwanese firm ProLogium have developed a new electric vehicle battery called the Large-Footprint Lithium Ceramic Battery (LLCB). This battery features a silicon composite anode, offering ten times the capacity density of traditional graphite anodes. The LLCB provides a maximum range of 625 miles and can charge from 5% to 60% in just five minutes. This fast charging capability reduces charging times by over 80%, making it comparable to refueling conventional vehicles. The new battery design is slimmer, allowing for more efficient use of space in vehicles. It also enhances safety with a solid-state electrolyte that is non-flammable. FEV and ProLogium plan to continue their collaboration on this technology.
