However, it can still be topped up from an AC and DC rapid charge \u2013 ensuring shorter charge times \u2013 and will be able to supply power to the car\u2019s motors and full electrical systems. In addition, the system will be able to feed power back to the grid where possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Peugeot also claims that the new system lifts the electric motor\u2019s power output from 201bhp to 230bhp, while it\u2019s claimed to boost efficiency by up to 10%; however, an official electric range figure from the car has not been revealed. The battery is 40kg lighter than a standard unit, which should help improve overall efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Also, charging speeds improve too, taking six hours rather than seven hours to top up using a standard AC charger similar to those equipped at homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Ned Curic, chief engineering and technology officer at Stellantis, said: \u201cBy rethinking and simplifying the electric powertrain architecture, we are making it lighter, more efficient and more cost-effective. These are the kinds of innovations that help us deliver better, more affordable EVs to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The two firms are currently working on the \u2018phase 2\u2019 stage of the testing, which involves real-world driving tests and conditions. Stellantis says that we could see this technology fitted to its production vehicles by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stellantis has announced that it has begun real-world testing of a new battery technology that could help boost EV ranges while reducing weight.
