China’s leading electric vehicle manufacturer is claiming a significant breakthrough in charging technology, promising a charging speed that rivals the convenience of filling up a gas tank.

The company asserts that it has developed a system that will allow its electric vehicles to be fully charged at speeds comparable to those experienced at fuel pumps. This innovation could potentially address one of the major consumer concerns regarding electric vehicle ownership: the time required to recharge the battery. Further details on the technology, including the specific timeframe for a full charge and the infrastructure required, are expected to be released shortly.
