and you need chargers that wouldn't become too big and bulky to carry around. vehicle charging is on the agenda as well. when it comes to recharging electric vehicles, there are a lot of variables. this isn't exactly your standard electric car. to fully power something like this right now would take about three hours, partly because the initial bit of that charging happens quite fast and then it slows down later, but these batteries should overcome that problem, making it possible to reach full charge injust five or six minutes. driverless taxi pods could spend more time shuttling people rather than sitting charging. the company has also been working on this prototype mobile charging device. the idea is it can be used on building sites or to charge cars. it can move forwards and backwards, from side to side and you have three detachable batteries.
