Chinese startup Greater Bay Technology has unveiled its incredible Phoenix EV battery, which it says can operate efficiently even in winter temperatures, Electrek reports.
Normally, electric batteries lose effectiveness when it’s too cold. They charge more slowly and discharge power less efficiently. Electric vehicles (EVs) that rely on batteries are much harder to use in cold weather because of these problems.
However, Greater Bay Technology says it has a solution. Its Phoenix EV battery includes temperature control technology that can warm the battery up to the most efficient operating temperature in just six minutes, Electrek reports — even if it starts at temperatures as cold as -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Not only that, but the Phoenix EV battery is also an extremely fast-charging battery. In six minutes, it can charge to between 10% and 80% of its total capacity, depending on the power source. Cutting down charging times makes EVs more convenient and even safer to use, which could make them appeal to a wider audience.
