Williams Advanced Engineering has obviously presented more than Mclaren Applied Technologies. The new batteries will enable fast charging as well as stops in the pits, where the race cars should be charged to the prescribed capacity in a very short time.
WAE extension has already supplied batteries in Formula E during the first generation of race cars from 2014 to 2018. McLaren Applied Technologies he then took over this contract for the present Gen2 generation of race cars.
However, the new batteries will not only charge quickly. Higher cell density will mean less weight and a more compact shape. In addition, battery life will be longer, durability better, power supply more efficient and, of course, more power available. This will make the race cars faster and even more attractive to spectators, fans and even the racers themselves.
»We are extremely proud to have been appointed as a battery supplier Gen3 for the World Cup ABB FIA Formula E. Especially since we were already a part of it Formula E from the very beginning and now we will again. Racing in such a competitive environment, where there are many factory teams, is also a challenge for batteries. But we want that and that is why we accepted the challenge. High-capacity batteries are one of the company's main competencies WAE extension and I am confident that we will meet all expectations and requirements, " he said Craig Wilson, director WAE extension.
Gen3 batteries generations will present for the first time this season 2022/23. They will use them for at least four years. Battery power will increase from 200 to 250kW (depending on the mode), on 300 to 350kW (depending on the mode). When using regeneration over the brakes, however, the leap will be even greater. There will be power iz current 250kW increased right on 600kW!
