New LFP Battery Charges 10%–70% in 4.5 Minutes at 65°C

The United States is being left behind in electric‑vehicle charging speeds as China pushes the limits of battery technology, with new developments achieving sub‑five‑minute charging to 70% capacity.

A newly introduced lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) battery can charge from 10% to 70% in just 4.5 minutes when operating at 65 °C.

This rapid charging capability demonstrates China’s progress in EV battery performance, while the United States remains behind.
