Nuclear option for electric vehicles


Cooling technology used in nuclear fusion research could get    charging times down to just 10 minutes


The biggest roadblock to widespread adoption of electric vehicles in a big country like Canada is the time it takes to charge one up.
That could change if a group of British engineers utilization of nuclear fusion research works in keeping batteries cool while they charge. The reason it takes so long to charge up an electric vehicle — still some 45 minutes or so with state-of-the-art fast chargers — is that the battery packs get too hot to handle the incoming electricity.
