Swiss battery system manufacturer ecovolta has developed a standardized lithium-ion traction battery that can save 500,000 euros in research and development costs for electric vehicle manufacturers.
The standard battery greatly reduces the time and expense required to bring electric vehicles into mass production. Electric vehicle manufacturers can quickly convert smaller models or previous model series into electrified models, which can be created in a matter of weeks. Prototype electric vehicle. Previously, every electric model required a custom battery pack. The time it took also brought additional risks, and made electric car manufacturers profitable only on a larger production scale. The evoTractionBattery power battery developed by ecovolta has been considered as a universal solution and can be put into use quickly.
In addition, such standardized batteries reduce the cost of electricity storage per kilowatt-hour, reducing the company's barrier to entry in the field of electric mobility. The integrated battery management system enables master-slave operation, as well as connecting the battery to the CAN bus, allowing the battery to exchange data with higher-level control systems, which is essential for the safety and efficiency of vehicle operation. In addition, the system integrates safety technology, relays and pre-charge technology.
The evoTractionBattery power battery is available in 24, 48 and 400 volts and has a capacity from 2.5 kWh to 15 kWh. In any configuration, up to 16 such batteries can be connected in series and up to 32 such batteries can be connected in parallel. The battery voltage ranges from 24 to 829 volts and the total capacity can reach 7,600 kWh. Each battery module has a fixed length of 520mm and a width of 218mm, and the height depends on the battery voltage and capacity, which improves clear parameters for vehicle design. In addition, customized high-capacity battery systems and electric mobility solutions from ecovolta do not require active cooling.
