TotalEnergies SE said Thursday it has partnered with automotive
supplier Valeo SE to work on a liquid battery cooling system for
electric vehicles.
The French energy major said the companies will join forces to
develop a way of cooling batteries from within with a liquid
coolant, something current technologies don't allow.
TotalEnergies said it has developed a coolant that can be in
direct contact with battery cells. The fluid is dielectric, which
means it doesn't conduct electricity and therefore it doesn't pose
safety risks, it said.
Valeo will use its expertise in thermal systems to work out a
way to integrate the coolant within the electric vehicle battery
pack, TotalEnergies said.
The battery innovation will boost electric vehicles' efficiency
and reduce their carbon footprint, TotalEnergies said.
