Vivarail developed a fast charger giving a 100 mi (160 km) range with a 10 minutes recharging time. [1] Power is provided by two lithium-ion batteries per car giving four per train, providing 106 kWh (142 hp⋅h), with an expected life of seven years for the batteries. [55] In 2017, Vivarail battery trains were being considered for use on the ...

During trials in February 2024, the fast-charge battery train set a new distance record in the UK by travelling 86 miles (138km) on battery power alone and without recharging.
This is then used to charge the lithium-ion batteries on the train, a process that would take about ten minutes. [5] [6] In March 2024, following delivery of unit 230001 to GWR, trial running began of the new battery-powered train and fast-charge technology on the line. The trials demonstrated a charging time of 3½ minutes at West Ealing ...
The Vivarail D-Train is a family of multiple units remanufactured by Vivarail for the British rail network. They are converted from London Underground D78 Stock , originally manufactured between 1978 and 1981 by Metro-Cammell .
The researchers demonstrated the design using a postage stamp-sized version of the battery that was able to retain 80 per cent of its capacity after 6,000 cycles – outperforming other solid ...
