while Elon musk's Tesla has been making

waves in the Global Auto industry China

has also become the center of action in

the EV space one company in China has

recorded a breakthrough in Battery

Technology so huge that even musk is

impressed which Chinese companies

recorded this feat what does the

Revolutionary battery offer join us as

we dive into how China just shocked the

entire Eevee industry with a new battery

batteries make EVS work but they have to

be charged regularly this presents a

major problem because the charging

process takes time far longer than it

takes to refuel an internal combustion

car this is a limitation of the

lithium-ion battery the most common

battery EV makers use today even with DC

rapid charges many electric cars take an

hour or more to charge fully the story

is even more depressing for level 2

charges which many EV owners used to

charge at home these home charging

stations may take up to eight hours to

fully charge your car are to improve the

electric vehicle ownership experience

evm battery makers are working hard to

reduce the charging time they have

reasons to do sell five minute charging

removes a perceived barrier for many it

makes electric vehicle adoption a much

simpler choice for those without access

to home charging another significant

benefit comes when drivers embark on

Long Journeys for now relatively few

people own electric cars and so it is

not exactly commonplace to find Rapid

charges occupied on route but for

example Tesla Drive is leaving

California at Thanksgiving can spend

hours waiting for charges that can

happen worldwide and we become like the

early adopters of Silicon Valley waiting

for free charging spots however five

minute charging would reduce the number

of Rapid charge points required at a

service station by a factor of 10 which

would probably improve the economics too

since rapid charge points are expensive

the hardware alone costs tens of

thousands of dollars

fast charging batteries could also

reduce the environmental impact of cars

and other battery devices for most

drivers which only occasionally make

long Journeys a car with a smaller

lighter battery which will also be more

efficient and cheaper maybe more

attractive since there will be less

inconvenience from charging stops this

could also have beneficial implications

for other battery uses too the rationale

is you don't need two batteries for your

power tools if you can recharge in just

one minute Tesla has just released a new

4680 battery which among other

improvements offers faster charging

times because of the Revolutionary way

Tesla has designed the physical

arrangement of the component however the

battery is nowhere near five minute

charging one company that is also deep

in battery research is Destin Destin is

a Chinese stroke German company

operating out of Hong Kong China it was

founded in 2015. this young company is

now ready to give Tesla a run for its

money when it comes to electric vehicle

batteries it is promising Ultra fast

charging but some in less than five

minutes this is the Holy Grail of EV

batteries as it means you can finally

charge your car faster than an ice

driver can buy a tank full of fuel the

company says that its batteries can be

recharged from zero percent to eighty

percent state of charge in 4 minutes and

40 seconds the Prototype battery pack

and electric vehicle are ready to charge

at up to 900 kilowatts which is some

three times higher than the peak value

for currently available cars the top of

the line Porsche taikan for instance has

a peak value of 270 kilowatts Destin

notes there's an increase in battery

charging power would reduce the charging

time and the number of charging stores

required as well as improve the

regenerative braking capabilities

according to the company the new battery

cells are also long lasting with 3 000

charging Cycles maintaining 80 percent

of initial capacity which is equivalent

to 1.5 million kilometers or 932

000 miles and if all of that does not

sound too good to be true for you here

is one more thing no need for cooling as

the cells barely warm up during Ultra

fast charging increasing in temperature

by only 15 degrees Celsius destined to

ultra fast charging capability is the

result of its breakthrough discoveries

in materials and cell structures

featuring novel chemical formulations

produced on a custom manufacturing line

the cell can achieve an industry-leading

3000 cycles and over 1.5 million

kilometers of total driving range fast

charging usually entails high levels of

heat buildup within batteries despite

Ultra fast charging speeds dust and

batteries retain High thermal stability

remaining cool throughout the operation

the batteries are also certified by

external testing organizations to

maintain temperatures of less than 15

degrees Centigrade above ambient

temperatures during operation

unlike other batteries Destin battery

cells do not require water cooling this

reduces cost and Battery cooling systems

weight resulting in energy and cost

savings it also helps the car because

the weight is reduced other high points

of Destin's battery include a very high

charge rate with less than 15 degrees

Celsius increase during Ultra fast

charging against ambient temperatures

the Revolutionary battery also offers

constant and reliable high power

delivery and high thermal stability it

also has a long life cycle with over 3

000 charge cycles and still retained 80

percent of his initial capacity this is

important because EV batteries are

expensive so replacing them is costly

but with a durable battery like the

Destin high performance battery EV

owners need not fear that Destin's

battery is also highly rated for safety

and reliability it has been certified

un-38.3 by an independent testing

laboratory the battery uses materials to

developed hand to optimize completely

in-house by Destin but more importantly

the battery can work in any climatic

conditions EV owners in colder locations

will appreciate this zv's suffer

significant Drive range reduction

Destin's website shows a 19 amp hour

cell spec with energy density above 160

Watt hours per kilogram and 350 watt

hours per liter indicating high power

cells the 75 kilowatt hour battery pack

would require some 468 kilograms of

battery cells interestingly Destin

already secured a customer for his

battery pack Automotive AG another

startup is working on its first vehicle

a sleek and retro inspired two-door

electric vehicle which was shown in

concept form as the mark zero concept

the 2019 Geneva motor show the company

has just announced that the model has

entered the testing and trials phase of

its development the model's name is piak

GT and it offers up to 500 kilometers or

310 miles of wltp range one of the

standout features is that it can be

charged to 80 percent in eight minutes

the performance is not lacking thanks to

a combined power output of 603

horsepower from three electric motors

with each producing 150 kilowatts Pierre

places at one on the front wheels while

the remaining pair drives the rear

wheels they can Propel the vehicle to

100 kilometers per hour or 62 miles per

hour in under 3 seconds and to 200

kilometers per hour 124 miles per hour

in under 9 seconds the PX GT is 4.432

meters or 174.5 inches long and 1.991

meters or 65.3 inches wide it weighs

1800 kilograms or

3968 pounds with a rear biased weight

distribution of 40 to 60. the front

wheels are 20 inches in size while the

rear wheels are one inch larger this

performance car is launching soon but it

will only be the first of three sporty

electric vehicles to be created on the

same modular underpinnings the company

didn't say what the other two cars will

be but it's certainly a vehicle will be

keeping an eye out for especially with

the fast charging battery supplied by

Destin pierek says that Destin's

batteries deal with heat so well under

both input and output power loads that

they need no cooling system the entire

marker zero powertrain will be

air-cooled that saves about 200

kilograms 441 pounds of weight assisting

both performance and range and that'll

be another benefit other car companies

will appreciate if and when they get

access to the Battery tech PX head of

engineering at Klaus Schmidt has been to

China to test drive a trial vehicle

equipped with the Destin batteries and

is mighty pleased he is looking forward

to seeing the pierc GT running laps on

the Nurburgring at Nord schleifer

powered by destant Wonder battery

meanwhile Destin's battery will be used

in more than just electric vehicles it

can also be used as a modular storage

unit so get ready for an energy storage

unit using batteries from Destin this

will bring the company into competition

with Tesla's power wall because PX says

the battery is suitable for both

automotive and Industrial Solutions in

larger applications they can serve to

protect the power grid this means they

can work for Rapid load balancing or

emergency power supply in general

applications that rely on the rapid

delivery of great amounts of power will

also benefit commercially as in most

cases storage size and hence cost can be

reduced let's hear what you think of

Destin's fast charging battery in the
