Electrive writes that special versions will be developed to be used in hybrid electric vehicles. SVOLT's 5C battery, based on LPF tech, can be charged in under 10 minutes from 10 to 80%, it has a lifespan of 3,500 cycles with an energy density of 188 Wh/kg and will go into production by the end of this year.

SVOLT researchers also showcased the capabilities of newer 6C batteries, based on NMC technology, which can charge from 10 to 80% in five minutes. Theoretically, a vehicle using a 100kWh battery with this tech could recharge 350 kilometers worth of range in just five minutes using a 600kW charger. If a driver would be "charging for the duration of a cup of coffee", a range of 500-600 kilometers could be achieved.

The energy density of these cells is also better, the company reports, as it would be around 240 Wh/kg, but despite these advantages, a production date has not yet been announced.

There is, however, one more battery technology developed by the company, also based on NMC, which is destined for use in plug-in hybrids and it can offer 300 to 400 kilometers of range thanks to an energy density of 250 Wh/kg. These could enter production in 2025.
