The popularity of electric vehicles is surging, with a noticeable increase in EVs on the roads today. However, this growth creates some challenges. Not enough charging stations and slow charging times, compared to filling up with gas, can cause long lines at charging stations.
While manufacturers are developing fast charging technologies to address this issue, the problem persists due to both higher costs and a lack of widespread solutions. Fortunately, Volvo and Breathe are collaborating to accelerate electric vehicle charging, offering a promising step forward. Here are the details…
Volvo Teams Up with Breathe for Faster Charging Technology
While brands like Tesla and BYD often dominate conversations about electric vehicles, the market is highly competitive. Traditional automakers like Volvo, with a rich history dating back to 1927, are now major players in the EV market. However, as I mentioned above, one big problem with electric cars is that they take a long time to charge. To fix this, Volvo is teaming up with a British company called Breathe Battery Technologies.
Volvo and Breathe are collaborating on new battery management technology. This technology could charge Volvo’s electric vehicles up to 30% faster than current models. Charging times may be reduced by 15-30%. Best of all, Breathe’s technology works with Volvo’s existing electric vehicles without needing hardware changes. This also means that the cost shouldn’t increase much, if at all.
Who knows, maybe Volvo could even add this battery technology to existing EVs on the road. Imagine if your two-year-old car could suddenly charge 30% faster with just a small upgrade! After that kind of experience, wouldn’t you be more likely to buy your next car from Volvo? Of course, this is just speculation for now we’ll have to wait and see what Volvo decides.
Let’s say you aren’t that into EV technology, and this news hasn’t caught your interest. But maybe this statement from Ann-Sofie Ekberg at Volvo will change your mind. According to her, Volvo doesn’t want to keep this technology all to themselves. This means other car brands could use Breathe’s battery management too. And because it works with very low power, we might even see it in your smartphones, tablets, and laptops someday.
