Shell promises 10-minute EV charging with its magical battery fluid | Shell's thermal management fluid could unlock significantly faster charging for tomorrow's EVs
Shell says it's developed a thermal management fluid for electric vehicles (EV) that can help speed up battery charging dramatically – we're talking 10%-80% in under 10 minutes. Not bad for an oil and gas company, eh?
In collaboration with automotive engineering firm RML Group, Shell has created a fluid that "reduces thermal stresses very significantly allowing much higher cell charging currents to be tolerated." And earlier this month, CATL unveiled the Shenxing Pro Super-Fast Charging LFP battery, which does 0.5 miles (0.8 km) per second, while also including safety measures to prevent overheating, and promising high performance at sub-zero temperatures and a 150,000-mile (240,000-km) warranty. CATL's fast charging Shenxing Pro LFP battery features a 'no propagation' design that ensures overheating in one cell doesn't cascade across the entire unit
