The VarEVolt Battery Breakthrough
RML Group recently secured Conformity of Production certification for their VarEVolt battery system, marking a pivotal moment in EV technology. This government approval means the company can now scale production from prototypes to commercial manufacturing.
Key Specifications at a Glance
| Feature | VarEVolt Battery | Standard EV Battery |
|---|---|---|
| Charging Time | 18 seconds | 30-60 minutes |
| Power Density | 6 kW/kg | 0.5-1.5 kW/kg |
| C Rating | 200 | 4-5 |
| Discharge Speed | Ultra-rapid | Standard |
The secret lies in the battery’s incredible C rating of 200, compared to premium EVs like the Porsche Taycan which only achieves 4-5. This means the VarEVolt can “dump all its power really, really quickly,” according to RML board member Michael Mallock.
Real-World Applications Already Happening
The technology isn’t just theoretical. The VarEVolt battery already powers the exclusive Czinger 21C hybrid hypercar, proving its capabilities in high-performance applications. RML Group is also developing retrofit kits for legendary supercars like the LaFerrari and McLaren P1.
What This Means for EV Adoption
This breakthrough addresses one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption: charging anxiety. Imagine pulling into a charging station and being back on the road in under 20 seconds instead of waiting 30-60 minutes.
The modular design allows manufacturers to optimize for different needs – whether prioritizing range, power, or balanced performance. This flexibility could accelerate EV adoption across various vehicle categories, from daily commuters to high-performance sports cars.
The Road Ahead
While currently producing small batches, RML Group’s mass production approval signals that this revolutionary technology could soon reach mainstream EVs. As electric vehicle infrastructure continues expanding globally, ultra-fast charging batteries like VarEVolt could make range anxiety a thing of the past.
The future of electric mobility just got 200 times faster – literally.
