Evolution of battery packs towards CTC

Battery packs powering current electric vehicles have rapidly evolved over time, transitioning from “Ctm” (Cell to Module) configurations to “Ctp” (Cell to Pack) and “Ctb” (Cell to Body). The next step is the “Ctc” (Cell to Chassis) configurations. While battery manufacturers work to create groups with increasingly higher performance, car manufacturers are also looking in the same direction, seeking to directly integrate batteries into the chassis of their vehicles. It should be noted that a battery pack normally consists of multiple cells integrated into a single module. By combining multiple…

Bmw, Continental, and DeepDrive united for electric vehicles.

The electric motor is built by the German startup DeepDrive, a dual radial flow rotor available in power ratings of 18, 150, and 180 kilowatts. The first operates at 54 volts targeting light urban vehicles, while the other two operate at a voltage of 420 volts, aiming to equip vehicles for a broader range. The main feature of both units is their discoid and cylindrical shapes, which prompted BMW and Continental to consider the possibility of forming a strategic partnership with DeepDrive to develop a combined unit designed to be…
