A new solution developed by TotalEnergies enables batteries that charge twice as fast<\/strong>, enhances driving range, and requires no changes to vehicle design. The updated Renault M\u00e9gane E-Tech was selected to test this immersion cooling technology, which aims to revolutionize electric car performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovative technology without redesigning batteries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The breakthrough lies in directly cooling the battery cells using a special non-conductive fluid called Cell Shield<\/strong>. By submerging the battery in this fluid, it stays cooler and more stable, which allows it to charge twice as fast<\/strong> while ensuring safety and structural integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally, the M\u00e9gane E-Tech <\/a>charged from 20% to 80% in 30 minutes. With this technology, that time is reduced to just 15 minutes<\/strong>. Additionally, driving range increases by 6% \u2014 all without altering the battery\u2019s design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batteries that charge twice as fast: better range and longer battery life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another major advantage of batteries that charge twice as fast<\/strong> is the ability to consistently maintain optimal temperature levels during charging. This not only improves charging speed<\/strong> but also contributes to extending the battery\u2019s lifespan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TotalEnergies first tested the technology in a Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid in 2022, achieving faster charging, better cooling, lower costs and weight, and improved safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renault M\u00e9gane E-Tech specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Renault M\u00e9gane E-Tech is powered by a 60 kWh battery delivering up to 450 km of WLTP range<\/strong>. It features a 220 hp electric motor, goes from 0 to 100 km\/h in 7.4 seconds, and supports DC fast charging up to 130 kW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a starting price of \u20ac35,200, this model stands out even more thanks to the potential addition of TotalEnergies’ immersion cooling technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion<\/strong>, if scaled, this innovation could reshape how electric vehicles are charged. While no official timeline or pricing has been announced, these batteries<\/strong> offer a real step forward in making e-mobility more efficient and practical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
