Recently, Japanese battery maker Toshiba announced that they successfully developed a new generation of car lithium-ion battery, just 6 minutes charge can travel 320 km, and is expected to be commercially available in 2019.
Toshiba officially announced that it has successfully developed a new generation of automotive lithium-ion battery, the battery referred to as SCiB.It is Toshiba's super lithium ion battery released in 2008 an upgraded version of the Japanese JC08 standard test, the The battery can only travel for 320 kilometers after charging 6 minutes.

At present, the average lithium battery for electric vehicles needs an average of 30 minutes to charge up to 80% of the capacity, and the battery can achieve 90% of the charge except for charging for 6 minutes and driving 320 kilometers away. After charging and discharging 5000 times, the battery still can Maintain more than 90% of the battery capacity.Compared to the traditional lithium-ion battery prone to slow charging at low temperatures, the battery can be fast charge in the low temperature of minus 10 °, minus 30 ° still can be used normally.
It is understood that Toshiba's successful development of the battery is based on titanium niobium oxide as the cathode material of lithium-ion battery, the lithium ion storage capacity of graphite anode material for lithium battery twice. In addition, a new generation SCiB battery is expected to be commercially available in 2019.
However, the battery maker announced the realization of fast battery charge is not just a Toshiba, Samsung also exhibited at the 2018 North American auto show the latest car battery products, can achieve fast battery 20 minutes to reach mileage of 600 km. In addition, Samsung Electronics also showcased its 'graphene ball' technology, which is 45% more capacity and 5 times faster than standard lithium-ion and solid-state batteries.
With the continuous development of new energy vehicles, the demand for lithium batteries are also growing.At present, Panasonic, LG Chemical, Samsung Electronics still dominates the current global high-performance lithium battery market.Large battery manufacturers are with the old traditional car prices And many start-ups to establish cooperation strategy, the future competition in this area will be more intense.
