Electric car Quant F on "streaming" batteries: 800 km of the course, 1090 horsepower

Since electric cars are now in trend, many companies are trying to create their own version of electric cars. However, some companies go their own way, without using the achievements of other automakers. For example, Toyota is promoting a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle. And the nanoFlowcell company from Liechtenstein offers a project of an electric vehicle with an exotic energy generation system - a streaming battery.

Last year, the company introduced the Quant e-Sportlimousine with a range of 600 km and a capacity of 925 horsepower. This year announced a new model - Quant F. Here the power is already 1090 horsepower, and the power reserve is up to 800 km. The maximum speed of an electric vehicle is 300 kilometers per hour.

Here, ionic liquids are used as fuel (which ones - the manufacturer does not say, saying only that the liquids are non-combustible and non-toxic, the main component is salt water). Liquids are placed in two tanks - in one tank an ionic liquid with a charge of "+", in the other, respectively, "-". During the operation of the car, both liquids are found in a special chamber, where they interact through an ion-exchange membrane, as a result of which current is generated. According to the manufacturers, the company's streaming batteries have five times more capacity per unit mass than Li-Ion batteries.

The volume of tanks for ionic liquids, a total of 500 liters. At the same time, the block of supercapacitors receives a current of up to 50 A from the “generator”, and a current of more than 2000 A can be supplied to the electric motor (albeit briefly) thanks to the new “buffer system”. The maximum voltage in the drive system is up to 735 V instead of 600, as in the previous model. The average voltage during continuous operation is 400 V. The developers claim that no manufacturer of electric vehicles has yet been making 2000 A for a passenger car on the road.

As for the car, this is not a theoretical project, but a real car, which was shown last year (Quant e-Sportlimousine), and will be shown in this, at the Geneva Motor Show. In the near future, the manufacturer will perform crash tests in Germany and the USA.



So far, unfortunately, we are not talking about mass production of electric vehicles - perhaps all the fuss is to show the advantages of this method of generating electricity, and later - launching sales of the fuel system with ionic liquids. And just recently it became known that the company joined the project Bosch.
