Munich researchers accelerate lithium-ion diffusion in solid-state batteries

The team led by Professor Thomas F. Fässler from the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich, specialising in new materials, replaced some of the lithium in the lithium antimonide compound with the metal scandium. “This creates specific gaps, so-called vacancies, in the crystal lattice of the conductor material,” the researchers explain. These gaps should help the lithium ions in the solid-state batteries to move more easily and quickly.

The company redesigned the original model’s front fascia and gave it an upper grille for a distinctive, more conventional look. Needless to say, it also changed the branding at the front and rear and on the inside.

The truck charging park has nine charging bays in total. Eight of these are set around four covered CCS chargers, with the final bay being powered by a Megawatt Charging System (MCS). The MCS charger can deliver up to 3.75 MW of DC power via a Power Electronics charging tower with 1440kW capacity (up to 1500 Amps, and should enable electric trucks to be charged in 30 to 45 minutes. The default charging tariff for the CCS and MCS chargers starts at €0,399 per kWh (ex.

In essence, MAN Charge&Go makes it easier to find truck-compatible charging points and also enables easy payments using a dedicated charging card. It helps drivers find locations with the MAN eTruck ready standard, which ensures charging points comply with manoeuverability, height, and weight restrictions. This is via a digital map interface which shows truck charging points that comply either with the eTruck ready or eTruck limited standards (those with restrictions such as vehicle length).
