Just 12 months after revealing the concept, a driveable Nyobolt EV prototype engineered together with CALLUM, will advance testing of the technology in the real world, enabling OEMs to experience Nyobolt’s ultra-fast charging technology first hand. Initial testing using a 350 kW DC charger has shown in-vehicle, Nyobolt’s batteries can charge from 10 to 80 per cent in just under five minutes, twice the speed of the fastest-charging vehicles on the road without the degradation typically associated with lithium-ion batteries.
Independent testing of Nyobolt’s technology by a leading global OEM confirms that Nyobolt’s longer lasting and more sustainable batteries can achieve over 4,000 fast charge cycles, or 600,000 miles, maintaining over 80 per cent battery capacity retention. Nyobolt is in talks with eight OEMs about using its technology in high performance EVs. Nyobolt’s technology also solves the levels of degradation that typically come with supercharging lithium-ion batteries. Nyobolt’s 24.5Ah cells have already successfully completed over 4,000 full DoD (Depth of Discharge) fast charge cycles, equating to over 600,000 miles if used in the Nyobolt EV pack, while still retaining over 80 per cent battery capacity. This is many multiples higher than the warranties of much larger EV batteries on the road today.
