NASA-Funded Technology for Future Missions May Charge EVs in 5 Minutes on Earth
NASA-funded technology for future space missions may charge an electric car in just five minutes on Earth, paving the way for increased adoption of such vehicles, the US space agency said. Reducing the charging time for electric vehicles to five minutes — an industry goal — will require charging systems to provide current at 1,400A.

Tesla Files Patent To Make Electric Car Batteries Safer
According to the patent, the new system has a feature or a material that will insulate battery cells from heat generated by surrounding battery cells. The material used will most likely be some sort of new age polymer. The system will also have cooled plates or 'heat pipes' that will help remove the heat generated from battery cells in general and ...

New Battery System to Generate Power From Waste Heat
Researchers have developed a new ammonia-based battery system to convert low-grade waste heat into electricity. Low-grade waste heat is an artifact of many energy-generating methods. In automobiles, waste heat generated in winter is diverted to run the vehicle heating system, but in the summer.
