EXTREME FAST CHARGing and extended range

The electrification of EVs is one of the most important initiatives for decarbonization. However, EVs have not yet achieved parity with internal combustion engine vehicles when it comes to ‘re-fueling’ or recharging. While the average range of EVs has increased dramatically to 300 miles, recharging an EV is still a time-consuming proposition, with the fastest charging times still requiring 30 to 60 minutes. 

With an Ionblox-equipped battery pack, an EV would have 30% more range. So, the average EV with 300 miles of range would see a range increase to 390 miles using our cells. With extreme fast charging, this EV could charge up to 60% in just 5 minutes for 225 miles of range, or charge to 80% in 10 minutes for 390 miles of range. No other battery, current or next generation, can achieve this level of performance today. 

Ionblox’s extreme fast charging cells with extended range eliminates the performance gap between electric and internal combustion engine vehicles; enabling the mass adoption of EVs.

 
 

It is critical to note that Ionblox’s batteries do not degrade over repeated extreme fast charging cycles. Ionblox batteries can achieve 210,000 miles exclusively using 5 minute extreme fast charges — no other battery comes close to this type of performance.

 
 

PURPOSE BUILT FOR AUTOMOTIVE

Under the auspices of U.S. Department of Energy programs, such as ARPA-E and EERE, and the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium (Ford, GM, and Stellantis), Ionblox successfully developed the first and only EV cells that can simultaneously deliver high energy, high power, extreme fast charging, and long life.
