Among the intriguing benefits is the potential to charge at a vastly faster rate.

In contrast, conventionalbatterycells are charged in parallel and independently of each other, slowing down the entire process.

The benefit of this collective charging is measured by a ratio called quantum charging advantage.

‘Quantum charging’ EV batteries could juice your car faster than pumping gas

The IBS research team sought to discover how much the charging speed can be increased.

Based on these estimations, charging an EV at home would drop from 10 hours tothree minutes.

And at high-speed stations, charging times would drop from half an hour tomere seconds.
