The battery war has started: Toshiba has just presented a battery that would recharge in just 6 minutes. Almost the time of a full ...
Toshiba also wants its share of the electric car cake. The Japanese have just presented a new generation of batteries that would be able to recharge up to 300 km of autonomy in just 6 minutes.
Say "Scib"
Called Scib, this new type of battery uses a new technology, namely anodes made from titanium niobium oxide. This new material would significantly increase energy density while displaying better performance in terms of charge with a duration divided by three compared to the lithium-ion batteries currently used. As a result, this battery is "much less likely to degrade during an ultra-fast charge" as it may occur more and more. The manufacturer also mentions non-degraded operation in cold weather, down to -10 °. The first cells tested at 50 Ah would thus retain 90% of their initial capacity after 5000 charge / discharge cycles, the manufacturer said in a press release.
320 km in 6 minutes
Still according to Toshiba, this new battery which would be primarily intended for the world of the electric automobile could thus recover up to 320 km of autonomy in just 6 minutes. What to approach the duration of a full of a conventional vehicle. And apparently, it's really serious because the Japanese company plans to market it in 2019 ... Can't wait for it!

The article omits to speak of the instantaneous power necessary ... widely mentioned on these forums... (because here we still think a little more than just copy and paste press releases ...)
A 50 kWh battery (which makes about 50 / 0.15 = 330 km in the best case) requires a power of 500kW to be recharged in 6 minutes (1/10 of an hour) ...or a subscription under 230V of 2200 A ...
I let you search the subscription price and the section of cables required
