The world's largest battery maker has launched what it claims is the first 'super-fast charging' battery capable of delivering 400 kilometers (249 miles) of range on a single charge in just 10 minutes. China Amperex Contemporary Technology Ltd (CATL) says its new lithium-ion battery will usher in a new era for electric cars and eliminate owners' anxiety.  When fully charged, the battery is charged enough to travel more than 700 km without recharging, about 60% higher than an average electric vehicle in 2023.   CATL says the increase in battery capacity and charging time is achieved by an "all-new superconducting electrolyte formulation" that improves conductivity. “The future of EV battery technology must be firmly held at the global technological frontier, along with economic benefits,” said Dr. Wu Kai, Chief Scientist at CATL.   As electric vehicle consumers move from pioneer to mainstream, we need to make innovative technology accessible to everyone and all

A young man, while on his way, had to pay attention to a stranger "an aboki" who beckoned on him inside a car, tending to ask for directions.
