ZapGo’s Ultrafast Charging, Carbon-Ion Technology Platform Featured in Prestigious Press

ZapGo Ltd has been featured in numerous published articles spotlighting its proprietary Carbon-Ion™ (C-Ion®) platform technology, which offers a potential ultrafast charging option for electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones as well as a new option for grid energy storage.

A cover article in the esteemed journal The Engineer, “Staying in charge: super- and ultracapacitors and hybrid energy storage,” notes how the company is positioning its technology as an ultrafast charging energy storage solution, summarizes the unique properties of C-Ion and describes how it could shorten the time required to recharge EVs.

An article in WIRED, “The explosive race to totally reinvent the smartphone battery,” places ZapGo’s technology in the context of the ongoing search to improve on the properties of existing lithium-ion cells. Among its other benefits, C-Ion is highlighted for its ability to charge as quickly as a supercapacitor but also hold its charge for as long as lithium-ion cells can.
