"Cell-Shield": TotalEnergies doubles the charging speed of electric cars

Why does the battery of your electric car lose in capacity in winter? The cold has a direct impact on the power and charging speed of electric vehicles. But with the right charging techniques, you can maintain optimal charging speed even in cold weather.

TotalEnergies has just developed a new technology designed to improve the range and charging time of electric cars. A refrigerant liquid of a special kind This innovation consists of a new cooling system of the battery, by immersing in a dielectric fluid (i.e. an electrical insulation) called "Cell-Shield", which floodes the cells of the battery to optimize its thermal management. Unlike "conventional" methods of cooling by air or liquid plate, …
