A new Shell technology could radically change the way electric vehicles are charged. electric vehicles are charged.<\/a><\/strong>. The development of a next-generation thermal fluid, called Shell EV-Plus, promises to recharge batteries from 10% to 80% in less than 10 minutes<\/strong> without compromising safety or cell life. <\/p>\n\n

Shell fluid accelerates electric car charging<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The breakthrough was made possible by a joint venture between Shell Lubricants and RML Group, a British company specializing in automotive innovation. Together they designed a 34-kWh battery pack that incorporates this thermal fluid based on gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology. <\/a><\/strong>(GTL) TECHNOLOGY. This combination allows higher charging currents to be tolerated with precise thermal control. <\/p>\n\n

Under optimal conditions, a light, aerodynamic vehicle consuming 10 km\/kWh could recover up to 24 km of range for every minute connected to the charger<\/strong>. This figure far exceeds the 5 km per minute typical of many current models, representing a significant improvement in range per charge time. <\/p>\n\n

The key to performance lies in the ability of the Shell EV-Plus<\/a><\/strong> fluid to fill all spaces within the battery pack, maximizing contact with each cell and ensuring efficient heat transfer. Its non-conductive nature allows it to maintain electrical electrical safety<\/a><\/strong> while managing the heat generated during fast charging. <\/p>\n\n

Safety and more compact design<\/h2>\n\n

In addition to shortening charging times, this breakthrough makes it possible to design more compact battery packs with fewer components and greater thermal stability. This translates into pr<\/a>o<\/a>pulse<\/a><\/strong> and safer battery packs, suitable for the next generation of electric vehicles. <\/p>\n\n

Shell will<\/strong> showcase this innovation in October during The Battery Show North America in Detroit<\/strong>, one of the most relevant events in the industry. The initiative reinforces Shell’s commitment to the electrification of transportation and the development of solutions that drive the mass adoption of electric vehicles worldwide. <\/p>\n\n
