Nyobolt EV Charges To 80% In Under 5 Minutes, But Only Offers 155-Mile Range

Nyobolt has unveiled a battery that can go from a 10-80% charge in 4 minutes and 37 seconds. That’s about as fast as refilling with gas, but the battery only has a capacity of 35 kWh. This means their Lotus-based sports car only has a WLTP range of 155 miles. No one likes waiting, but it’s a common occurrence for EV owners traveling long distances.

While tiny battery means tiny range, Nyobolt tried to spin this as a positive. In particular, the company said the battery is lightweight and able to charge quickly. Of course, if other batteries were also shrunken down, the same could be said about them. However, Nyobolt believes their batteries – which use “next-generation patented carbon and metal oxide anode materials, innovative low impedance cell design, integrated power electronics and software controls – are better.
