A Chinese car manufacturer is now showing the top dogs how to do it properly.

Guangzhou - Would you drive an electric car? Often the answer is no due to the long waiting times. They are actually one of the main disadvantages of electric vehicles, after all, the models available today need around half an hour to be fully charged. A refueling stop with the combustion engine, on the other hand, takes an average of five minutes. E-mobility must be measured against this time if it wants to conquer the mass market before a combustion ban * is introduced. A manufacturer from China * is already scratching this mark.

If you believe media reports, the almost empty battery of the Aion V - one of twelve new electric models from the Chinese manufacturer GAC - can be charged to 80 percent in just eight minutes.

This is reported by 

elektroauto.news

 , citing the Chinese e-magazine 

cnevpost.com

, which was convinced of the fast charging quality of the new crossover car in a charging test in July of that year.

The charging miracle celebrates its sales launch in September - but only in China.

8 minutes charging time instead of 32: e-car from China dupes Tesla and Porsche

In direct comparison with top models available in Germany, the charging time of the Aion V is even more impressive: According to the manufacturer, the Porsche * Taycan charges to 80 percent in 22.5 minutes - at an 800-volt charging station and under ideal conditions.

At best, a Tesla * Model S can be fully charged in 32 minutes.

But how does GAC manage to outdo the well-known competition like this?

According to

efahrer.com

, only the 6C top model of the Aion V

can

achieve the magical eight minutes. Its battery is based on the new graph technology - the hope of battery technology.

Graphene has a very high electrical conductivity.

However: According to a GAC ​​press release, the material “initially cost up to a few hundred dollars per gram” and was therefore also referred to as “black gold”.

The manufacturer promises a new production process to reduce costs to a tenth, without specifying exact prices.

Tesla and Co left behind: “Super battery” from China lasts a million kilometers

Turbocharging has a problem. It is said to damage the battery. However, GAC promises that the graph-based battery technology will not only shorten the charging time, but will also "considerably extend" the battery life. According to reports, it should be up to a million kilometers in it. Incidentally, the “super battery” in the Aion V has a range of up to 1000 kilometers with just one charge.
