Japão o Leaf já consegue ser carregado a 100% em 5 minutos . (Engineers Develop System That Charges EVs In 5 Minutes)



"Charging electric vehicles just got faster and easier. Engineer Kanno Tomio and his teamv in Tochigi, Japan patented and demonstrated a new, ultra-fast charging system. The system was able to fully charge the Nissan LEAF’s battery pack in under 5-minutes.
Tomi and his team were able to quickly transfer the electricity required to charge the LEAF by making use of capacitors. These capacitors could power up their own charge over time, while still releasing huge amounts of energy instantly.
One great aspect of Tomi’s capacitor-based charging stations is that they can also be set-up to collect their reserves of power during off-peak times. The charging stations can also be fueled by Japan’s existing energy infrastructure without needing any special connections installed.
Tomi and his team expect to begin installing its fast chargers in homes and businesses beginning in 2012. The charging stations will be available in U.S. and European markets shortly after its Japan release. The price for these charging stations has not been revealed at this time."

Até que enfim, já se sabia que era possível, agora vamos ver é como irá ser instalado.

...e que saúde dá às baterias, também...

...e o custo??
Condensadores para armazenar 20kw? Upa upa

O que era mesmo bom era o LEAF ter um condensador destes, mesmo que fosse só 5% ca capacidade total da bateria, era o ideal para conseguir captar instantaneamente toda a energia de uma travagem regenerativa e depois poder usar para o arranque seguinte, ou ir transferindo lentamente para a bateria... Daqui a uns 8 anos conto existir um pack de baterias hibrido para o LEAF com 90% de baterias e 10% condensadores, em que os 100% equivalem a 40KWh de capacidade...

E porque não só condensadores? mesmo que a autonomia fique limitada a 50km/carga, podia chegar para a carga rápida seguinte e durar para sempre sem problemas de cargas rápidas...

Cheira-me a um MEGA preço, veremos.
