ALBATROSS PROJECT

The overarching aim of ALBATROSS is to create advanced battery pack designs and systems that can achieve: - Peak Energy Density of >200Wh/kg for i3, an improvement of 50% against the current 152Wh/kg.- 20% weight reduction of the battery system equating to 56kg weight reduction for i3 battery system to 222kg (currently 278kg), through a combination of: (1) Light-weighting approaches, (2) Reduction of batteries required due to increased peak energy density allowing for reduction in built-in reserve/redundancy and increased battery lifetimes and (3) removal of auxiliary components such as secondary e-motor pump.- 25% charging time reduction down to 30 minutes (40 minutes currently, 20-80%) using 150kW charger - Relating to a Charge Rating of >4C, compared to state of the Art 2C. Also prove charging at 300kW, whilst maintaining or improving battery capacity and useful life to 300 000km. - Increase driving range up to 480km (285-310 currently). - A 15-20% improvement over the full..
