Superlattice Power, Inc., developer of advanced high-energy batteries for use in electric cars and other demanding applications, is continuing its move toward the world’s most efficient lithium ion battery. The company recently announced that they were able to dramatically increase the driving range of an electric car, produced by EV Innovations Inc.

Using a multi-stage charging process, where the charging rate was able to follow a differential curve obtained through previous experiments, in conjunction with a new battery management system, researchers were able to increase EV driving range by at least 50%. The tests were done using a 29.6 Kwh lithium ion battery.

Superlattice plans to continue work with a next-generation battery pack, where the cathode material with superlattice structure will be used, and the expected specific capacity is 1.5 times compared to the cathode. The company’s goal is to develop and
