A major problem that still hamper the sales of electric cars is the length of time it takes to recharge the battery. Just imagine if 220 volt of home electric power takes at least 8 hours for recharge time.
Indeed, there is now technology that can charge the battery power quickly. But the obstacles, requiring considerable power. Seeing how important this issue rechargeable batteries to be solved, then the organization Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International gather to seek new breakthroughs.
As a result, SAE International states that they have been able to design a new standard to the power tool rechargeable batteries for plug-in hybrid cars and electric Remarkably, the time required for charging is only 20 minutes from the previous 8 hours.

The existence of this new technology is making the process of electric recharging becomes faster. The users of electric cars and hybrid plug-in recharging can shorten the charging station and home.
"This new technology represents the hard work of the best engineers in the world in providing battery charging solutions. Apalgi use of electric cars will continue to grow in many parts of the world," said Gery Kissel, Engineering Specialist Global Battery Systems of General Motors.
Simply put, the basic principle of charging system using DC current in two options. First, at the level 2 using a voltage of 220 volts and 480 volts for level 1 or more on a single socket systems. This technology is different from the system rechargeable that was developed by Japan, which uses two voltages which are 110 volts for level 1 and 220 volts for level two. *** [OVI | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 19102012]
