Toshiba is working jointly with Mitsubishi Motors to develop a rechargeable lithium ion battery system for use in electric vehicles.

Toshiba may supply the battery system – using its own super charge ion battery – for use in Mitsubishi’s electric vehicles. The SCiB can recharge up to 90% of full capacity in less than five minutes.

Toshiba is set to begin production of its SCiB from 2011 at a new facility in Kashiwazaki, Niigata Prefecture.
