Charge a future EV in less than five minutes – using literally cool NASA tech
Experimental tech designed to cool NASA equipment in space has an Earth-bound use as well: slashing electric vehicle charging times to five minutes or less.
A team at Purdue University, headed by mechanical engineering professor Issam Mudawar and sponsored by NASA's Biological and Physical Sciences Division, said it has achieved 2,400 amps along a cable using subcooled flow boiling, far more than what would be required to charge an EV in five minutes or less.
Purdue visiting assistant professor of mechanical engineering VS Devahdhanush, who worked with Mudawar on the project, said the Purdue team has worked with NASA for more than a decade, in which Mudawar and his group have studied several different two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer models, including subcooled flow boiling.
