Daqus Energy has a plan to make EV sports cars fast, light, and cheap

It is cheaper, light and more dense: Trifecta identifies an ideal battery. No one has made a perfect cell but a secret start thinking that it finds a new material that solves at least two of these difficulties.

Dagus Energy In the last few years, it operates quietly, processing a combination known as a waq, which promises to be cheaper and lighter than competitive battery materials.

“We did not see a metric compared to the staff of Judgment,” he said. The company came out of the MIT, where the investigation was funded here Partnership with Lamborghini.

There are several warnings that this also offers a band freely: the company still measures the production of TAQ and began working on the type of cells that can only fall in a house. Moreover, many Promised battery materials died on a commercial road.

However, the bottom is strong enough that the Dagus’s name is the secret to the 6 million dollar seeds led by the presence of individual investors in the morning.

The dagus’s material replaces the catod in a lithium-ion battery. In a typical cell, the cathode is made of Nickel-Mangalan-Cobalt (NMC) or iron-phosphate (known as LFP). The NMC cells are more expensive, but it offers larger energy density and longer distance in electric vehicles. LFP cells are cheaper, but it is harder.

The United States and European cars have preferred the NEL for EVS, but we began to move to the LFP to reduce costs. Problem, the vast majority of LFP cathode materials are made in China, for the United States-made EVS, which wants to comply with tax credits.

Material Daqus, Bis-TetrainobenoQuinaNone or expensive critical minerals such as taq, nickel or cobalt are not used. Instead, it is completely designed from completely existing carbon-based combinations.

For the first step in the production process, the two molecules used by the company are already used to make paints and fertilizers. “These are completely in the dirt,” said Banda said that the company’s small groups receive from $ 1 per kilogram. “So you can imagine what it means when you get only one tone.”

Moreover, the process used to synthesize a waq is very little energy. The band requires only to 120 degrees C, C, from 700 degrees C, 700 to 800 degrees C.

On production lineTAQ can be suppressed using existing equipment. However, there is another opportunity to reduce costs: existing anode production equipment can also work with a waq. This would allow battery manufacturers to use water as a solvent, seized and reused.

In general, the qualities of the TAQ have concentrated their confidence that the material can subside the cheapest lithium-ion batteries in the market. “If someone says the LFP batteries are $ 50 per kilowatt-hour, we would be cheaper than this to make sure.” “Absolutely how much you need to draw conclusions.”

Daqus produces coin cells in the laboratory in Massachusetts, and the internal tests showed that Junior Survey was continuous. According to the TAQ-based batteries, it can hold at least 80% of the original power and in high temperatures. These small batteries are also accused of increasing six-minute fast charging, when extrapolating EVS.

If you have a warning, the TAQ cathodes, if they compete with the LFP, are more space than the Cathodes NMC. Again, because the material is lighter, the houses made around would also need lighter and less batteries. The submitted to the supplied is a smaller and more lighter and lighter can give you enough ranges to compete with the NMC.

The benefits of sports cars can quickly understand. Weight was one of the largest punishments of electrification: It’s very easy to make a house with lightning in a straight line, but it’s very easy to make someone working well in a race? Proven to be more difficult. The light, fast charging battery pack can pass a long way for electric sports cars to feel special.

“Many car companies around the world are trying to make electric cars,” he said. “What is the difference between a roller role against a TESLA? Make sure you have better seats, but it was the engine in terms of the car’s core. Now it looks like a battery.”
