California Startup Wants to Charge EVs as Quickly as Filling a Gas Tank

With several countries across the world looking to achieve carbon neutrality over the next couple of decades, there has been a major push towards adopting zero-emission vehicles.

However, one area where EVs still haven’t caught up to ICE vehicles is ultra-fast charging, with charging an EV typically taking anywhere from 45 minutes to 12 hours.
