Energetique specialises in the design, development, and integration of high density energy storage and energy management systems for the automotive, renewable, and power industries.

Energetique’s innovative electric drivetrain and battery technologies have been demonstrated in the 100% electric vehicle, evMe which was released in November 2008. The Energetique technology platform has also been used to power the light delivery van MAXev to be released in February 2010.

Energetiques proprietary platform offers the automotive industry a quick to market and cost efficient solution that integrates global best of breed components for urban commuters and light commercial vehicles.

Energetique’s technologies include:

• Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) software
• Thermally managed battery pack
• Grid Connect software module.

The global best of breed electric power train components are integrated by Energetique’s proprietary VCU. The VCU software manages the energy flow between the batteries and the motor, and regulates battery temperature. It ensures optimal utilisation of energy from the battery pack without compromising the driving experience. This efficient management of onboard energy maintains maximum passenger and utility space and ensures regulatory vehicle weight.

Energetique’s advanced technology and electronics deliver performance that not only exceeds that of the original petrol driven car (Mazda2) but also most other Electric Vehicles. The evMe features include:

• extended range of 200km – greater than most comparable EVs
• maximum speed of 150km/h
• power acceleration of 0-100km/h in under 10 seconds (6 seconds if power / range dynamics are changed)
• motor efficiency of up to 96% – by comparison, standard petrol motor cars convert less than 30% of fuel into useful energy
• thermally managed battery pack with a battery life of 10 years at daily discharge of 80%
• digital control platform with 2G/3G wireless interface

The Energetique platform allows for V2G connectivity including the remote management of the battery charging sequence. This enables energy utilities to regulate the charging load on the grid. The grid connect capabilities are:

• vehicle to grid (V2G) enabled – energy stored in the car’s batteries can be uploaded back into the electricity grid
• smart charge enabled – charging sequence can be remotely managed by energy utilities including time of charge and rate of charge and discharge
• iPhone smart charge interface – car owners can set and manage preferences for charging including purchase and resale of electricity back to the grid.
