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

Since electric cars are now in trend, many companies are trying to create their own version of an electric car. At the same time, some companies go their own way, not using the achievements of other automakers. For example, Toyota is promoting an electric vehicle with hydrogen fuel cells. And the nanoFlowcell company from Liechtenstein does offer an electric car project with an exotic energy production system - a streaming battery.

Last year, the company introduced the Quant e-Sportlimousine with a range of 600 km and a capacity of 925 horses. This year, we announced a new model - Quant the F . Here, the power is already 1,090 horsepower, and the power reserve is up to 800 km. The maximum speed of an electric car is 300 kilometers per hour.

Ionic liquids are used here 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, ionic liquid with a charge of "+", in the other, respectively, "-". When the car is running, both liquids are found in a special chamber, where they interact through an ion-exchange membrane, as a result of which a current is generated. According to manufacturers, the company's streaming batteries have five times greater capacity per unit mass than Li-Ion batteries.



The volume of tanks for ionic liquids, in total - 500 liters. At the same time, the block of supercapacitors receives current 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 electric vehicle manufacturer has ever achieved 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 auto show. In the near future, the manufacturer will carry out crash tests in Germany and the USA.



So far, unfortunately, we are not talking about the mass production of an electric car - perhaps all the fuss just to show the advantages of this method of generating electricity, and in the future - the launch of sales of the fuel system on ionic liquids. And just the other day it became known that Bosch joined the project.
