It is reported that GAC AION’s first graphene fast charging technology: 80% charging in 8 minutes, battery life 500km

Recently, GAC AION’s battery with 80% charging in 8 minutes and battery life of 1,000 kilometers has caused heated discussions. Some academicians questioned that a cheap and mass-produced battery that combines two technologies in one is deceptive at the moment.

Subsequently, the GAC Group issued an announcement to clarify that graphene super fast rechargeable batteries and long-life silicon anode batteries are two different battery technologies, which respectively solve the problems in the two power battery applications of "slow charging speed" and "short-range". Different pain points.

A few days ago, according to media reports, General Manager Gu Huinan of GAC AION said in an interview that the graphene-based fast charging technology will be installed on Ion V models for the first time, and it can charge 80% in 8 minutes and endure 500km. The car went into production in September.

According to an announcement issued by the GAC Group, graphene-based super fast-charge batteries and long-life silicon anode batteries are two different battery technologies. At present, the two batteries have been tested in actual vehicles as planned.

However, it also emphasized that the current popularity of graphene-based super-fast charging batteries depends on the release of national super fast-charging standards and the construction progress of high-power supercharging equipment.

It is reported that the battery needs to have a 6C fast charging capability, supplemented by 600A high-power overcharge equipment, to achieve the goal of 80% charging in the fastest 8 minutes, and the cost of the battery will also increase.

It is worth mentioning that the GAC supercharging pile was also discovered a few days ago. From the data in the figure, the maximum power of the charging station can reach 600kW, which is more than twice the maximum charging power of 250 (kW) of Tesla.

The exposure of the super-fast charging pile further confirms this news, but because 600kW is indeed too exaggerated and puts quite stringent requirements on the capacity of the grid, whether the supercharging pile can quickly enter the market, we will continue attention.
