Enevate to offer extremely fast EV charging

Enevate is aiming to make EV charging as fast and easy as pumping petrol into an ICE car.

The company is a pioneer in advanced silicon-dominant lithium-ion battery technology capable of extreme EV fast charging and announced its new fourth generation technology optimised for high-volume commercialisation and manufacturing at gigafactory scale.

The wait for an EV to charge is a problem for automotive OEMs and EV battery manufacturers.

The new XFC-Energy technology achieves five-minute charging to 75% capacity with 800 Wh/L cell energy density.

“Mass EV adoption by consumers and fleet owners will depend to a large degree on advanced battery technology that will remove current barriers to entry such as long charging times and limited range,” Alliance Ventures chairman Christian Noske says.

“Enevate is a key enabler for electric vehicles that are affordable, easy and quick to charge, and clean.”

Dr John Goodenough, a recipient of the 2019 Nobel Prize in chemistry for work in the development of lithium-ion batteries, salutes Enevate for its creation.

“I salute the Enevate team for reaching this next important step in fulfilling the company’s mission to develop and commercialise innovative battery technologies to accelerate the adoption of electrified mobility.”

Enevate is currently working with multiple automotive OEMs and EV battery manufacturers to commercialise its technology for 2024-2025 model year EVs.

Enevate founder and chief technology officer Dr Benjamin Park says Enevate’s XFC-Energy technology has been designed for large-format pouch, prismatic and cylindrical EV cells.

“Enevate’s extreme fast charge technology enables a future where gas stations become drive-through EV charging stations – a win-win for consumers and the environment as electric vehicles replace those using gasoline,” Park sys. “Enevate’s technology will help close the usability gap between today’s EVs and gas cars.”
