The revolutionary breakthrough cell technology, developed by Desten features ultra-fast charging capabilities that redefine charging and performance in EVs. The battery pack charges in three minutes and 56 seconds, a new world record. This was made possible by Destens new battery cell technology. The cells are supported by an advanced pack and cooling system designed by InMotion.
The new battery pack is set to be featured in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, where it will demonstrate its charging times and power on the track. The battery pack has been extensively tested based on its ultra-fast charging and discharging under race conditions.
In such endurance race formats 'Electric Refuelling', where a full charge takes the same time as it would to fill a car with gas, plays a critical role in enhancing the competitiveness of an EV versus an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle.
"Our new ultra-fast charging and discharging cell was developed specially for this racing application, demonstrating our capacity for the customisation of our advanced cell platforms to meet the needs of our partners", remarked Bader Al-Rezaihan, CEO and chairman of Desten. "This innovation presents an opportunity for the automotive industry as a whole to reformulate the way we approach EV charging, battery pack configuration, and accelerate mass adoption of EV."
Desten recently earned the Gold Medal in the 2023 Edison Awards' highly competitive EV Battery Enhancement Category based on its ultra-fast charging cell technology.
