Two major hurdles discourage potential EV owners – lack of charging stations and long charging hours. These innovations will tackle the challenges in the future.
Extreme fast charging (XFC): Some are developing instant charging stations capable of delivering power as high as 400kW. Successful lab tests have been run on cutting-edge batteries that can handle extremely high current to fully charge the EV in 5 minutes.
Universal plug-in EV stations: Plug standardisation will ensure you don’t have to go in search of a charging station compatible with your car. It will be like a phone charging cable with different connectors at one end and a USB type A at the other.
