Volvo has patented a new battery system

Volvo has filed a patent for a revolutionary battery technology that could eliminate one of the biggest hurdles for electric cars.

Of course, it's a long charging time, which creates a growing problem for drivers.

The goal is to achieve charging speeds that match the time it takes to fill a car with gasoline.


In an application filed with the European Patent Office, Volvo describes a new battery design. The new technology aims to reduce heat during charging, which is a key factor in enabling faster charging.

The new design deviates from traditional battery cells by bending the battery electrodes toward the center of the cell. This change improves electrical conductivity and reduces heat loss, allowing for faster and more efficient charging.

In addition to faster charging, the technology is expected to have other benefits, including reduced requirements for cooling systems and more cost-effective battery production. /Telegraph/
