Chevy Spark EV – an electric car that charges in 20 minutes

The electric car may be the main individual vehicles of the future. Unless, of course, scientists and engineers will be able to solve the problem of long charge its batteries. However, the positive dynamics in this process has been observed. As proof of this – a car Chevy Spark EV, which will be launched into serial production in 2014.

Adequately long charging the batteries of electric vehicles is the byword, the task which yet can't handle a group of engineers around the world. There are, of course, the options involving bypass (for example, trailers ebuggy e-Mobility Concept, which can be exchanged for special stations), but it's only half-measures that appear because of the inability to solve the basic problem.





But still there are intermediate successes on the way of increasing the rate of charging of electric vehicles. For example, the General Motors Corporation plans in the very near future to introduce at the motor show in Los Angeles its new brainchild, a car Chevy Spark EV.

Besides, the Chevy Spark EV, will be presented and the technology that allows for incredibly fast by today's standards to charge its batteries. Thanks to her, 80 per cent battery capacity can be filled in just 20 minutes.

It is known that longer only charged it the last percent of potential capacity of the battery. And the creators of the Chevy Spark EV suggest do not pay attention to them – it will be much faster.



Because 20 minutes is a small enough period of time, already closer to the time needed to fill up the car with gasoline or diesel fuel. The owners of Chevy Spark EV, and other similar electric cars can charge their vehicles in virtually any point during your movement without fear of getting stuck there for five to eight hours.
