The 10.5 kWh and 14.5 kWh batteries available on some of the Japanese imports
use the lithium titanate oxide SCiB battery technology, allowing them to withstand
2.5 times more charge
/
discharge cycles, and provide 1.7 times more driving range
than a regular Li-ion battery. SCiB batteries can also be charged rapidly, reaching
80% capacity in 15 minutes. The 16 kWh battery is a regular Li-ion battery.
