Chinese automaker GAC (Guangzhou Automobile Corporation) has announced a new breakthrough in the development of graphene battery technology, a technology that will integrate into the company’s new Aion V vehicle and allow ultra-fast charging of 80% of the battery in just 8 minutes Using a charging capacity of 6C or 600A.
Graphene batteries have long been considered the “next generation” technology in the field of batteries, as they are made of a sheet of carbon atoms with one atomic thickness and give the battery a particularly high fast charging capacity, critical for electric vehicles. Gasoline or diesel based vehicles.
According to the new information, GAC was able to develop a new technology for the production of graphene batteries, which significantly lowers the cost of the battery, from hundreds of dollars per gram of graphene in existing production methods, when it introduced the 3D technology (3D graphene) using its new production process. In July 2020. The new battery even passed the Battery Shooting Test, the most stringent safety test for batteries.

The new graphene battery will arrive in the company’s Aion V vehicle, which is currently undergoing winter testing and is scheduled to go into mass production during the month of September. The vehicle is expected to arrive in Israel at a later stage through Orion Mobility, a GAC importer in Israel from the Union Group.
The problem of charging the batteries of electric vehicles is one of the main obstacles in the field, with many in Israel remembering Better Place and its electric vehicles, which used the technology of physical replacement of the batteries as a solution for fast charging, a failed solution together with the company. The move to cheap graphene batteries is expected to be the big solution to the problem of charging speed in electric vehicles.
