Students at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have developed a battery for electric vehicles and a universal charger for it.
Their development allows charging with a power of 322 kW in less than 4 minutes. At the same time, such a battery is enough for 250 km of travel.
We developed an innovative cooling system at the module level, where cooling plates were retained between modules containing compartments, filled with coolant.
If you want to extract the heat from the battery pack as efficiently as possible, you must redirect the cooling as close to the battery cell as possible. So we developed a method that uses cell-level cooling, with the actual coolant flowing between each cell.

24-hour installation testing corresponds to minimal battery degradation. It was installed in the prototype car LMP3. The technology was installed as part of the InMotion Revolution racing car team, which is part of a project aimed at participating in the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans race. [New Atlas]
