When new battery technologies come in, we need to go with lead (acid) feet. And the the technology is too cumbersome for the times and costs of production. That is demonstrated by the fact that, to date, the market offers variants of the same lithium-ion solution.
This time, with Zap & Go, the situation could change. The Oxford University project, in fact, has a much shorter launch date: 2018 refers to carbon dioxide batteries that can reduce charging times. Capacity is the same as lithium-ion cells, but it can be full in five minutes.
How do Zap & Go works?
Waiting to find essential details, such as the capacity or type of charger needed for quick recharging, we know Zap & Go’s plans for the debut of the format for the two wheels (electric motorcycles and scooters) and then switch to the car world with an increase in kWh.
Also, if the manufacturer succeeds in the intent, arriving in 2018 with a battery. So, we can say it as 150 kilometers with a 5-minute charge could revolutionize the electric motorbike sector. So, making it finally able to deal with long journeys. To find out more, however, you have to wait for CES 2018.

The Zap & Project, however, does not include only vehicles: at the fair will be shown a Razor E300 that will benefit from this technology, which will also embrace vacuum cleaner robots, electric bikes, utilities and the world of consumer electronics in general.
