A pioneering Serbian company specializing in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology has unveiled a groundbreaking cell that charges electric vehicles (EVs) up to 80 percent in just 12 minutes.
Produced by Subotica-based ElevenEs, the new Edge574 Blade Cell not only delivers ultra-fast charging, but also offers an impressive cycle life equivalent to about 310,000 miles (500,000 kilometers), combining speed and durability in a single high-performance solution. //
The battery’s smart fast-charging method allows it to reach from 10 to 80 percent capacity in approximately 12 minutes when operating at temperatures of 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) or above, significantly reducing downtime and improving efficiency for electric vehicle users. //
ElevenEs further revealed that the battery can reach 80 percent in just 18 minutes at 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), charging with a power of 650 kilowatts (kW). It however, completes the process in 25 minutes when operating at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), with a peak charging power of 415 kW. //
When operating at full capacity with 210 cells, the system’s peak charging power reaches up to one megawatt. This, according to ElevenEs, opens new possibilities for rapid EV turnaround times and significantly more efficient charging infrastructure.
The cell also performs reliably between -22 degrees Fahrenheit (-30 degrees Celsius) and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius), and still delivers its nominal capacity, ensuring consistent output across extreme conditions.
