In China, by the end of the year, tests of electric cars on graphene batteries will begin in urban conditions

Representatives of the Chinese company GAC made a statement that by the end of this year, field tests of electric cars with installed graphene batteries will be launched.

And if the tests of cars with graphene batteries prove to be successful, then this will become a significant impetus for the development of electric transport in general.

After all, as laboratory tests have shown, it takes about 8 minutes to charge a graphene battery to 85% of its capacity.

Modern realities of graphene batteries

Note that GAC uses Guangqi's graphene battery technology, but in 2014 year this company was absorbed by the GAC and now all the work on the development and implementation of new technology is under its control.

The release of new batteries with graphene for electric cars was announced last summer. And to date, a sufficient number of graphene batteries have been produced at the company's facilities to begin full tests in real conditions.

Graphene batteries and a revolution in the automotive world

Despite the popularity of electric cars (remember Tesla), perhaps the main stopper to their purchase a long charge remains, which significantly limits the range of continuous travel on such cars.

The introduction of new fast-charging graphene batteries could revolutionize the automotive world. And all thanks to graphene.

For reference. Graphene is a unique material discovered by Russian scientists. Its unique properties make it possible to significantly increase the conductivity of electrons, which makes it possible to charge storage batteries with high currents without fear that they will be destroyed in this case.

In turn, charging graphene batteries in such a short time will allow electric cars to fully compete with carbon-fueled cars.

Well, it remains to wait for the first results of real tests of graphene batteries on electric cars and even then we will be able to understand whether a new era of electric transport has come or whether it will still need a little wait.
