Moroccan scientist turbocharges EV industry with record-breaking batteries

Energizing news for EV enthusiasts: A Moroccan scientist says he invented a battery that can recharge electric vehicles (EVs) in 5-15 minutes. The engineer behind the new lithium batteries, Rachid Yazami, said that his batteries are three times faster than Tesla’s batteries, which take up to an hour to charge, according to Morocco World News. Yazmami’s batteries — which utilize a series of nonlinear electric currents that enable the batteries to avoid overheating — will fully recharge cars in “15 or even 5 minutes,” he claimed at an event last week.
