The Russian company "Ampertex" has presented a composite material that will form the basis for creating a non-freezing electric vehicle battery. The development was announced by the company's Chief Operating Officer, Elena Ershova, at the AMTEXPO-2024 forum session, according to the event's press service.
Ershova noted that the new heating technology, based on composite material, surpasses existing analogues. A synthetic thread based on polymers and single-walled carbon nanotubes is used as a heating element. This technology will allow electric vehicle batteries to remain operational at low temperatures, which will greatly simplify their operation in Russian climatic conditions. According to company representatives, this will increase both the range of electric vehicles and the number of battery charging cycles.
Another promising project was also presented at the forum. Stanislav Goldes, Advisor to the General Director of Amperion LLC, presented the battery developed by the company for EMKA-2, the first Russian hybrid electric locomotive with asynchronous drive and on-board energy storage.
Ilya Belavintsev, Executive Director of the Association for the Development of Energy Storage Systems Technologies (ARTSNE), said that the growing demand for batteries is stimulating the development of domestic technologies. In particular, Rosatom plans to launch the production of electric drives for electric vehicles by 2026 and begin producing batteries capable of providing 100,000 electric vehicles annually.
