- Self-Heating Battery – Penn State University researchers invented self-heating battery for electric vehicles, which makes use of thin nickel foil that allows electrons to flow, usable in below room temperatures
- More Stable – Can withstand 4,500 cycles of 15-minute charging at 32 degrees Fahrenheit with only 20% capacity loss, compared to conventional batteries that lose 20% capacity after 50 charging cycles
- Fast-Charging – Capable of fully-charging electric vehicles in 15 minutes, almost equivalent to time required to fuel car with gas
- Long Battery Life – Expected to last 280,000 miles of driving with lifetime of 12.5 years, longer than most batteries
