Immersion Cooled Batteries

Performance

Cars (Plug-in-Hybrids)

Race car like 1,4-5 kWh

Strategic Rationale

Activities

• Ongoing discussions with three OEMs (Germany, UK, Italy)

• No derating during (race-track) driving

Sportscar 5-10 kWh

High-performance model 15-30 kWh

• Multiple power cells in discussions to further push technical specifications

• More electric power (up to 20C)

• High recuperation, fast charging

Ultra fast charging (Battery Electric Trucks)

Combining highest charging rates with optimal cooling for long lifetimes

  • Fast Charging (more than 400km in less than 15min)
  • Reducing battery size / energy capacity per truck
  • Improving TCO, reducing CO2-footprint
  • Concept evaluation with German OEM
  • Evaluating cells with fast-charging capabilities to enhance technical specifications

Addressable Market by 2030

€2'5 bn p.a. / Europe & US/CA €1'0 bn p.a. / Europe only*

Immersion Cooled Batteries
