Salt Water Batteries and Electric Cars
A European business with the name nanoFlowcell has developed a different
method of storing power in electric cars.
The technology developed by the company uses electrolytes immersed in water.
The organization claims that the stored fluids remain both non-toxic and non-
flammable.
In other words, the specialized batteries consist of electrically charged “salt water.
”
nanoFlowcell's Electric Cars Appear to Out-perform Those of Tesla Motors
So far, the custom made liquid batteries surpass the Lithim oriented productions of
Tesla Motors.
The performance of nanoFlowcell’s original example car, the Quant, rivals that of Tesla’s
Model S.
However, the Quant F, the following example vehicle, exceeds the Model S.
On a full charge, the second European car can travel roughly 500 miles with a top
speed of about 180 miles per hour.
The Quant F, already considered road ready in Europe, has motors powering each wheel.
Its transmission possesses only two speeds.
However, the horsepower exceeds the range of 1,000.
The car sports a total of two 250-liter batteries filled with electrolyte saturated
water.
The frame of the Quant F also holds improvements above the initial design type
of Quant.
The competition against Tesla Motors seems to grow as each year goes by.
NextEV of China eagerly awaits its final plans to oust Tesla from its top spot.
With new battery technology emerging from the likes of StoreDot of Israel and
nanoFlowcell of Europe, Lithium batteries sluggishly take a back seat to newer forms of
technique for efficiency in electric cars.
I expect that Tesla Motors will adopt fresh
methods of storing potential energy as soon
as the year 2016.
Even With New Technology for Electric Cars, Tesla Motors Keeps Strong
Either way, nanoFlowcell already has set into motion its establishment of electric cars in
the European market.
Rumors at first stated that the vehicle gained a charge through the consumption of
salt water.
In reality, ionic fluids just utilize a unique mixture of materials to store electricity.
Hopefully, the Geneva International Motor Show will display similar jumps in technology
in the near future.
Even if the salt water does not work as a fuel itself, nanoFlowcell does anticipate the need for refilling the storage units as time
progresses.
On the other hand, Tesla Motors attempts to make its vehicles more attractive to
consumers.
It has set into motion an integration of charging stations in a many parking garages
inside the Manhattan urban area.
The company nanoFlowcell, in its own path, claims that existing fuel stations could easily
add charging stations.
Both companies try to expand the interests of probable purchasers in electric cars within
each of their own homelands.
