Summary
Shell has unveiled the Triple 10 Challenge EV prototype, a futuristic electric car that uses immersion cooling technology — submerging the battery and motor in cooling fluid rather than using traditional pipe-based cooling. This innovation enables three key claims: a 10 to 80% charge in under 10 minutes, energy efficiency of 10kWh/100km, and a lifecycle CO2 footprint of 10 tonnes. The technology aims to make EV recharging nearly as fast as refueling a petrol car while significantly improving energy efficiency.

· 3 pulledKnown as the Triple 10 Challenge concept, it is named for its claimed 10 to 80 per cent charging time of less than 10 minutes, energy efficiency of 10kWh/100km, and a 'life cycle CO2e footprint' of 10 tonnes.
It is thanks to technology that immerses the battery and electric motor in cooling fluid, rather than running it through pipes around them.
Shell claims it allows EVs to recharge almost as quickly as filling with petrol.
