Electric Vehicles
Now more than ever Electric Vehicles (EVs) are an attractive transportation choice to a growing number of people. One of the limitations with EVs has traditionally been the battery. The Nilar Membrane Battery provides EV owners and EV OEMS with an alternative that provides the power, range, safety, and cycle life that is required.
For EV owners with lead-acid batteries, regular battery replacements can be a costly and time consuming ordeal. The fear of battery replacement has often been cited as a factor which deters potential enthusiasts from pursuing their ambitions of driving an all-electric car. The Nilar Membrane Battery offers a solution to this problem by providing an energy storage solution with unprecedented life and overall lower total cost of ownership for the life of the vehicle. One car, one battery pack, no hassles.
As an added benefit, the Nilar Membrane battery delivers substantially increased vehicle range. Conversion from advanced lead acid technologies have been able to achieve up to a threefold range increase by leveraging Nilar's higher energy density construction and customizable size and shape. Increased range, longer life and abundant power, what more could an EV ask for?
For the EV conversion owner, Nilar Membrane batteries with Smart Switch technology provide freedom from the lead-acid replacement cycle while leveraging the existing charger and controller infrastructure. A drop-in replacement solution for the lead acid packs provides all the benefits of Nilar's NiMH battery with none of the hassles traditionally associated with the chemistry conversion.
For EV OEMs, the Nilar Membrane battery's modularity provides the flexibility to offer options on range and power depending on the target group. Additionally, Nilar batteries provide more power, enhancing the power to energy trade-off for a given power threshold. The power output can be tailored to the motor/controller to maximize energy and range.
Compared to traditional batteries which cannot withstand excessive long range cycling and require periodic replacement, Nilar Membrane batteries can be expected to last the life of the EV, essentially making it a maintenance free vehicle.
