China’s Phoenix EV battery promises an eight-minute charge for a 600-mile drive

Chinese companies dominate the manufacturing of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) from the mining of the necessary minerals to final production. They are also in the lead when it comes to technical innovation.

The latest example: On June 6, Greater Bay Technology announced a new EV battery named Phoenix (凤凰) that promises to charge at eight times conventional speed, with the ability to fully charge in just 7.5 minutes, even in winter conditions. Greater Bay Technology says the Phoenix will have an energy density of 260 watt-hour per kilogram (Wh/kg), giving it a range of 621 miles (1,000 km) on a single charge.

The Phoenix should be in mass production sometime in 2024, and will be fitted in EVs towards the end of next year.
