Quantum batteries could prove the EV breakthough we've been waiting for – charge in seconds and last for years

Electric car charging (close-up with graphics).
Quick Summary

Scientists at Australia's CSIRO have made a working prototype of a quantum battery in what is claims to be a world first.

This means a concept battery that, when scaled, could offer super fast charging that can last for years at a time. These even charge faster as they get larger, ideal for cars.

The future of self-driving cars is one that requires some serious battery power and that could be coming, thanks to a new quantum battery breakthrough.
