Climate change remains one of the main societal challenges humanity is facing in the 21st century, with road transport as one of the main contributors to carbon emissions. Whilst the implementation of electric vehicles can reduce carbon emissions, the adoption is lagging as barriers exist for consumers. One important barrier is the slow charging times of electric vehicles and even fast charging is still too slow!
Therefore, student team InMotion develops cell-level cooling technology which aims to facilitate ‘Electric Refueling’, meaning that the charging times of electric vehicles become equal to those of refueling petrol-powered cars. Showcasing the possibilities of Electric Refueling in the toughest conditions, being endurance races, will show its potential anywhere. Ultimately, InMotion dreams of showcasing Electric Refueling at the 24h race of Le Mans.
