Volvo Car Corporation is testing a new fast-charger for electric cars that cuts recharging time to an outstanding 1.5 hours. The fast-charger operates six times faster than today's on-board devices. Volvo is just one of the manufacturers that will be bringing out electric vehicles in the near future.
"We know that short recharging times and extensive operating range are a necessity for potential electric car consumers. The fast-charging unit helps cure what is known as ‘range anxiety' since the car can be more easily recharged during the day." says Lennart Stegland, Vice President Electric Propulsion Systems, Volvo Car Corporation.
