We have been hearing about graphene and its excellent properties for a long time, but these great expectations have not been reflected so far in different products.

It has many virtues:

  • Resistant 200 times stronger than steel
  • Hard harder than diamond
  • Lightweight 1 m2 weighs less than 1 gram
  • Conductor good electrical conductor (better than copper) and thermal
  • Flexible can be flexed without being damaged
  • Ecological is pure carbon, same as graphite
  • Etc …

It could be applied for super batteries (with very high energy), flexible touch screens, very high quality speakers, etc…. and a multitude of good products, which have not yet appeared on the market.

For the first time I have seen the advertisement for a car with a graphene battery, and it’s the Chinese company GAC that presents its Aion V car that advertises a range of up to 1,000 km. with a battery that recharges in 8 minutes. Shocking news.

       

The important thing about this car is its battery, which is made with graphene.

And if what they announce is true, the people of GAC are going to change the future of electric cars forever and definitively.

The people of GAC say they have managed to make the industrial process cheaper to have batteries with graphene and put them on the market.

If this were the case, graphene would finally begin to fulfill some of its many expectations and the steps would be taken to start revolutionizing a part of the market.

If all this were true (excuse me for being a bit skeptical) this would be one of the good news in recent years, since almost 20 years ago the Nobel Prize was awarded to the first to obtain graphene.

We will have to follow this news to confirm that it’s fulfilled and that the people of GAC put this model of car on sale.
