00:00Shell has unveiled a small electric concept car that it says can recharge in under 10 minutes
00:06using a special cooling fluid to help stop the battery overheating.
00:11Called the triple 10 challenge, the concept car can charge from 10 to 80% in 9 minutes and 54
00:17seconds
00:18using a 135 kilowatt public fast charger.
00:23That added about 24 kilometers of range per minute,
00:26compared with about 13 kilometers per minute for typical battery electric vehicles
00:31using the same charger, according to the company.
00:34Shell described the car as a roadworthy proof-of-concept vehicle
00:38built to show how smaller, lighter electric cars could charge faster and use less energy.
00:44The car's name refers to three targets, a charge from 10% to 80% in under 10 minutes,
00:50energy use of 10 kilometers per kilowatt hour, and life cycle emissions of 10 tons of CO2 equivalent.
00:58CO2 equivalent is a way of expressing the warming impact of different greenhouse gases
01:03in terms of carbon dioxide.
01:06Shell also said the car's estimated life cycle footprint
01:09was about half that of comparable vehicles produced today,
01:13though the figure was based on company assumptions,
01:16including renewable electricity for charging.
