Nissan charger: 10 minutes to fully charge the battery

Nissan has successfully developed a new electric vehicle system capable of fully recharging the battery in record time.

Just 10 minutes charging

The technological breakthrough, recently developed by the Nissan brand in collaboration with Kansai University in Japan, should alleviate the doubts facing the general public regarding 100% EVs. Indeed, the Japanese automaker and researchers from Kansai have managed to dramatically reduce the time it takes to fully charge a battery meant for its electric models. While a traditional battery typically takes several hours to charge, the novelty, proposed by Japanese partner brand Renault, charges an electric vehicle's battery in just 10 minutes, without affecting the voltage and capacity of the battery to store energy.

For Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi iMiEV models

The update, made by Nissan engineers and researchers from Kansai University, was announced by ASEAN Automotive News. In particular, the process consisted of replacing the carbon structure of the electrode used by the capacitor, which is equipped with a fast charger, with a structure combining vanadium oxide and tungsten oxide. A change that will increase the battery's ability to store electrical energy. This groundbreaking innovation is ideally suited to the needs of electric models that are starting to break through, including the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi iMiEV.
