flow cell

Nanoflowcell is showing the latest version of the Quant flow battery sports car. Unlike the Quants of the past, the new 750-hp Quant 48Volt sees its voltage drop precipitously, from 700 V on last year's Quant FE to the namesake 48 V. Performance doesn't drop at all; in fact, it only gets better.

Using modified B2 vitamin molecules, researchers at Harvard University have created a rechargeable flow battery that could help revolutionize large-scale electricity storage from intermittent energy sources, such as solar and wind, with its low-cost, high-capacity capabilities

Nanoflowcell's flow cell-powered Quant and Quantino cars are nearly ready for production. It'll show the latest versions at this year's Geneva Motor Show.

Building upon the groundwork it laid at last year's Geneva Motor Show, Liechtenstein's Nanoflowcell used this year's show to highlight two very different ways that its flow battery technology can be put to use: the Quant F hypercar and the Quantino commuter.

Before it detailed the 1,075-hp Quant F supercar, Nanoflowcell mentioned that it would have another surprise highlight at the Geneva Motor Show. Turns out, the surprise is an entirely new concept car that it calls the Quantino.

Nunzio La Vecchia is back, baby! And at this year's Geneva Motor Show, he's pitching an even more extraordinary, updated version of his flow cell supercar, the Nanoflowcell Quant F. La Vecchia claims that the updated car's flow battery can power the motor to a tune of 1,000 hp and 500 miles.

The Geneva Motor Show is known for hosting its share of new green cars. This year, everyone from manufacturers to university teams showed designs built from ultralight components, powered by alternative fuels and otherwise designed around fuel- and emissions-frugal commuting.

One of the wildest cars at the Geneva Motor Show, the Nanoflowcell Quant e-Sportlimousine (not the punchiest name) is a research prototype that's powered by ionized salt water. More accurately, it's powered by a flow battery that uses ionized salt water as its energy storage medium.

Lichtenstein-based start-up NanoFlowcell will reveal a working prototype it calls the Quant e-Sportlimousine at next week's Geneva Motor Show. More than just a concept car or styling exercise, the car showcases "an entirely new energy storage system."
