New EV charging tech promises a full battery in four minutes

Original: A fully-charged EV in four minutes? The tech that can refill your car almost as fast as a petrol pump

A new battery technology is being reported that could allow electric vehicles to be fully charged in about four minutes, roughly the time it takes to fill a car with petrol. The claim, picked up by Stuff, is being read as a potential answer to one of the biggest drawbacks of electric cars: long charging waits. It follows continued efforts to cut charging times and ease range anxiety among drivers considering a switch to EVs.

Why now: Charging speed remains one of the main barriers to EV adoption, so a petrol-pump-fast charge claim draws wide interest.
