Germany's analyse battery health (KIT) has partnered with e-bike manufacturer Coboc to develop a rapid bike charging process. Through funding from the country's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the two organisations intend to improve the charging current of lithium-ion cells up to 10 amps, allowing the devices to be fully recharged in under an hour using a normal 230 volt plug. The cooperative arrangement will also work together on battery management diagnostics, using an internet of things solution to monitor and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and charge while the e-bikes are in use.
