EAS Batteries: Battery cells for the world's first two-seater electric racing car

Nordhausen. EAS Batteries developed the battery cells for the world's first electrified racing two-seater. On Sunday, October 31, 2021, the car will be presented at the UN Climate Change Conference 2021 in Glasgow / Scotland. The electric racing car for two was designed by Johnson Matthey in collaboration with the Formula E team "Envision Virgin Racing" and built by Delta Cosworth. EAS Batteries is now producing around two hundred of the specially developed cells, which will make their debut use with the first test drive of the show car on the Silverstone race track in early 2022. 

New cathode chemistry: high performance and longer range for electric cars

Battery cells determine the specific properties of an electric car. Performance and range are crucial here. For the electrified racing two-seater, EAS Batteries has the cell chemistry based on a new active material from Johnson Matthey called eLNO® developed and processed in a robust round cell of the 602030 format. The capacity of the cells could thus be increased from 55 to 80 ampere hours with continued high performance. "That is an immense leap," says EAS managing director Michael Deutmeyer. “We are always in a position to develop cells for special applications and to produce them in small series - as is now the case for the pilot project of our long-term business partner Johnson Matthey. Large-format round cells from EAS are the first choice wherever great forces act, such as in space or on a racetrack. "

Innovative e-mobility: The automotive industry discovers EAS Batteries

The niche specialist for large-format round cells has become a sought-after development partner in the automotive industry. The reason: EAS Batteries has the know-how, the equipment and the necessary property rights to control the technological leadership of automotive electromobility. "We can significantly accelerate the race to catch up in automotive e-mobility," says Michael Deutmeyer. "This also shows the increased demand for the development of cylindrical cells for the automotive industry at EAS."

25 years: A look at the EAS success story is like a look into the future

Large-format wound cells, LFP as safe cell chemistry, energy-saving extrusion and an efficient contacting method are among the powerful ideas of a quarter of a century of EAS history. As a highly specialized niche provider, EAS has been developing innovative cell and battery solutions at the Nordhausen production site for 25 years - including extremely robust and powerful cells for applications in the aerospace, aviation, automotive, NRMM (Non-Road Mobile Machinery) and maritime industries.
