Scientists Develop Battery that Charges in Seconds

s battery. It can take anywhere from a few hours to overnight in order to be able to drive on a full charge, making it less than ideal for those who are looking to go on road trips or making exceptionally long commutes or trips often. But this new battery means that cars could charge their batteries quicker than it would take to fill up a tank with gas.

Even with the restrictions that electric cars bring, many cities and states are hoping to bring electric car opportunities to residents that have been limited in the past due to the lack of electric charging stations. For example, it was recently announced thatthat would be compatible with popular car models like the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf.

Similarly, Chicago is taking steps to bring in electric carmakers to the area by making it a more feasible option for residents. In recent news, it was announced thatscattered throughout the city. Now that more places are working to bring in more electric cars, quicker charging batteries could easily seal the deal and make people more likely to purchase an electric car.

Rachel Krech provides an in-depth look at current environmental issues and local Chicago news stories. As a college student from the Chicago suburbs pursuing two science degrees, she applies her knowledge and passion to both topics to garner further public awareness.
