Electric cars, which spread rapidly all over the world, became the subject of discussion with the charging time of their batteries. Even the best technologies today require 30 minutes of charging time, but US researchers can change that. A new method of charging electric cars based on machine learning offers 90 percent recharge in 10 minutes.
Machine-learning charging method for electric cars
It is actually possible to charge the lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles much faster, but this can upset the delicate balance and cause the battery to wear out. A new study led by the Idaho National Laboratory’s Department of Energy Storage & Electric Vehicle believes it will revolutionize electric car batteries.
US researchers claimed that the lithium-ion flow could be tracked based on machine learning and that although this flow accelerated, it would not spoil the battery. By enabling lithium ions to migrate faster, the researchers accelerated charge and discharge cycles.
Eric Dufek, researcher at Idaho National Laboratory’s Department of Energy Storage & Electric Vehicle, said that over 90 percent charge is possible in 10 minutes without any wear from the battery.
In his statement on the subject, “We have significantly increased the amount of energy that can enter a battery cell in a short time. “Currently, we see the batteries charge over 90 percent in 10 minutes without lithium coating or cathode cracking.”
Although laboratory tests were successful, it should be noted that this method is currently in the testing phase. The researchers think it could be used to design optimized lithium-ion batteries for machine learning.
