Car charges near full in under 9-minutes in real world tests

Man paying for car charging.
Quick Summary

A new battery test, by Chinese car manufacturing company Geely, has shown off a 10% to 97% charge time of just 8 minutes and 42 seconds.

Using 1,100kW charging, this result used a 900V Energee Golden Brick Battery to achieve this impressive speed charging feat.

While the world first quantum battery is worth shouting about, it may not reach us for a while. Right now we're seeing amazing jumps in conventional charging, as displayed in a car that charges near full in just under nine minutes.
