Advancement in Electric Vehicle (EV) technology by a German company, demonstrated through an extension system that allows EVs to travel up to 840 miles, alongside an efficient heat pump for improved energy conservation.
At the IAA Mobility event in Munich, German automotive parts manufacturer Mahle announced groundbreaking news: a new range-extender system for electric cars. This innovative system, designed and developed by Mahle, based in Stuttgart, could potentially extend the range of battery-electric vehicles up to 840 miles (1,350 km).
The range extender system is a combination of a highly efficient high-voltage generator, powered by a small, high-efficiency multi-fuel engine. This engine, when combined with the generator, recharges the battery, offering additional range and efficiency.
Arnd Franz, the chairman of the Mahle Management Board and CEO, stated that the company's products are ready for series production and offer solutions to genuine challenges faced by customers. The system's readiness for mass production was also emphasized.
One of the key features of the new range extender system is the thermal management module. This module ensures a comfortable climate in the passenger compartment while maintaining each component of the drive and energy storage system at the right temperature under all climate conditions. This is particularly beneficial in cold weather, as the new system can extend the range of battery-electric vehicles by up to 20 percent, even at low temperatures.
In addition to the range extender system, Mahle is also showcasing components for internal combustion engines that can be operated on up to 100% ethanol. This move aims to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of the existing vehicle pool.
The new range extender system and thermal management module represent a significant step forward in e-mobility, addressing one of its key challenges - the loss of range caused by heating at low temperatures. With this development, Mahle is set to make electric vehicles more practical and appealing to a wider audience.
