CHARGED Electric Vehicles Magazine – July-August 2019

(Michael S) #1

GBatteries has launched an
AI-powered charging protocol
designed to charge conventional
Li-ion batteries as quickly as a
car can be filled with gasoline.
The company says its system can
charge a 60 kWh EV pack to 119
miles of range in 5 minutes.
Operating at the intersection
of artificial intelligence, elec-
trochemistry, signal processing,
and high-power electronics,
GBatteries claims that this is the
only demonstrated technology
that can ultra-fast charge Li-ion
batteries without compromis-
ing battery life or changing the
battery’s chemistry.
GBatteries has developed and
tested the charging algorithm
over the past six years The
protocol also includes control
methodologies and hardware.
Beginning this summer,
GBatteries and Ravens Rac-
ing, a Carleton University club
that builds and races Formula
SAE vehicles, are partnering to
develop a new electric race car.
GBatteries’ specialized tech-
nology will be integrated into
Ravens Racing’s new vehicle,
making it the first scaled-up
application of the charging
protocol.
