The biggest challenge auto manufacturers are facing today with electric vehicles is it takes far too long to replenish the batteries giving EVs an unattractive image.
What JFE Engineering has innovated can potentially eliminate that problem completely. The Japanese engineering firm has developed an electric charger that plugs into your EV and provides up to 70% charge in a matter of 5 minutes!
If you’re in a rush to the local supermarket, you can get 50% charge in just 3 minutes. That’s less than what it takes to perform a “splash and dash” fuel stop at the local petrol station.

We have shortened the charging time to three minutes, the same amount of time for refueling petrol or making a simple purchase.
EV charging infrastructure available today in modern cities take almost overnight to provide full juice to batteries. This is a common reason why people prefer combustion models. But with such drastic improvements made in the electrical industry field, EVs might take over our world very soon!
By the end of March 2011, this JFE hopes to install the charger in petrol stations across Japan for the public to use. There is no word on the cost yet.
