The evMe uses premium quality Lithium polymer cells designed for automotive use. Our Lithium polymer batteries are safe, reliable, lightweight and energy dense enabling evMe to take you up to 200km between charges.
With Lithium polymer batteries there is no need to worry about waiting until the battery pack is fully discharged before recharging it: you are able to charge your car whenever you have access to power. In fact, this is the preferred as it promotes longer service life.
The evMe has 96 battery cells which have been built into the body of the car (mostly under the floor) to minimise amount of storage space required and distribute weight evenly. Battery cells are rigorously tested under a quality assurance program which ensures extremely high reliability with a less than 1 in 10,000 failure rate. However in the unlikely event of battery failure Energetique will replace any faulty battery cells under warranty.
The battery pack in the evMe is expected to maintain good driving performance for around eight to ten years.
Many electric vehicles use lead-acid, nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride batteries, which are heavy and difficult to dispose of as they contain hazardous materials. Lithium polymer batteries contain no toxic chemicals. They are classified as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal as normal municipal waste. These batteries do however contain valuable, recyclable materials and evMe is currently looking at local solutions to have the evMe batteries recycled.
