Telerex announces a collaboration with Helmond-based InMotion. The ambitious student team from TU Eindhoven focuses on making mobility more sustainable, in particular fast charging of electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles offer a great opportunity for mobility to reduce CO² emissions. Unfortunately, charging the batteries takes longer than refueling a car that runs on fossil fuel. This is currently one of the biggest reasons why consumers are not yet making the switch to electric driving. Showing consumers that this barrier does not have to exist at all is one of InMotion's goals. With the ultimate dream: InMotion wants to participate in the 24-hour race on the Le Mans circuit with a fully electric racing car.
Remarkable loading time
InMotion is developing a cooling technology at cell level with the aim of making 'Electric Refueling' possible, which means that the charging time of electric vehicles becomes the same as that of petrol cars. This groundbreaking technology eliminates the long wait times normally associated with charging electric vehicles. The InMotion student team is working hard on this technological advancement and has now achieved success with a remarkable loading time of 3 minutes and 56 seconds!
Future plans
However, the student team is persevering and wants to reduce the loading time even further. The help of partners plays an important role in this. Telerex will support the team with knowledge, experience and financial resources, among other things, to help in the long-term development of a new battery.
“The secret of fast charging lies in cooling the battery. Fast charging releases a lot of heat and Telerex is ideally placed to share its knowledge in the field of customer-specific thermal management challenges,” says Lex van Huuksloot, Business Development Manager and Key Account Manager Thermal Management at Telerex. Mika van Kempen, Business Development Manager of the student team adds: “We look forward to collaborating with Telerex. They specialize in thermal solutions and will support us with new innovations in the car.”
