La empresa californiana de bater\u00edas Enevate, respaldada por Renault, Nissan y Mitsubishi, ha recaudado otros 81 millones de d\u00f3lares en una nueva ronda de financiaci\u00f3n. La empresa se centra en las c\u00e9lulas de iones de litio con tecnolog\u00eda de \u00e1nodo dominado por silicio.<\/p>\n
Acerca de hace un a\u00f1o, Enevate anunci\u00f3 una nueva generaci\u00f3n<\/a> de sus c\u00e9lulas de i\u00f3n-litio de silicio, que tambi\u00e9n deber\u00edan producirse en grandes cantidades. La empresa californiana anunci\u00f3 entonces que la tecnolog\u00eda mejorada deber\u00eda permitir una carga extremadamente r\u00e1pida con una alta densidad energ\u00e9tica y a un coste de material inferior al de las bater\u00edas de iones de litio convencionales, sin dejar de ser compatible con las instalaciones de producci\u00f3n de bater\u00edas existentes.<\/p>\n Los citados 81 millones de d\u00f3lares estadounidenses (algo menos de 67 millones de euros) se han recaudado ahora en una ronda de financiaci\u00f3n de la serie E y aumentan los fondos de la empresa obtenidos hasta la fecha mediante rondas de financiaci\u00f3n hasta los 191 millones de d\u00f3lares (algo m\u00e1s de 157 millones de euros). La ronda actualmente cerrada ha sido liderada por Fidelity Management & Research Company. Tambi\u00e9n participaron inversores existentes, seg\u00fan Enevate, entre ellos Mission Ventures e Infinite Potential Technologies.<\/p>\n Enevate afirma que el nuevo capital ampliar\u00e1 significativamente su l\u00ednea de preproducci\u00f3n, ayudar\u00e1 a contratar nuevo personal y a crecer en general. \"A medida que se implante nuestra tecnolog\u00eda de carga r\u00e1pida, vemos un d\u00eda en un futuro no muy lejano en el que los conductores de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos podr\u00e1n acercarse a estaciones de carga que se parecer\u00e1n mucho a las gasolineras actuales, cargar y volver a la carretera en cinco minutos\", explica el director ejecutivo de Enevate, Robert A.

The company intends to commercialise this know-how by licensing its intellectual property to third parties, saying that it works with several automotive OEMs and electric car battery manufacturers. Enevate says that this enables the companies to use existing manufacturing infrastructure with minimal additional investment to build the next generation of electric cars. Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi is among those interested \u2013 the manufacturer alliance took a stake in Enevate<\/a> in late 2018.<\/p>\n When the company announced its new generation of batteries almost exactly a year ago, the startup said it planned to commercialise its technology for 2024\/2025 model year electric cars. In the current press release, the Californian company has not revealed more information on this front.<\/p>\n The Irvine-based company emphasises the fast-charging qualities of its technology. In January 2020, Enevate underlined this goal for the first time with somewhat more concrete figures. The new 4th generation XFC Energy technology with silicon-dominated anode technology allows a 5-minute charge to 75 per cent capacity at 800 Wh\/L and 340 Wh\/kg cell energy density, it said. Extrapolated to a typical BEV battery, this could provide power for an additional 390 kilometres (240 miles) in five minutes.<\/p>\n According to company founder and CTO Benjamin Park, the technology was developed for “large format pouch, prismatic and cylindrical EV cells”, combining a pure silicon anode with nickel-rich NCA, NCM and NCMA cathodes. This enables the cells to reach 1,000 cycles and operate at temperatures of “-20\u02daC and below”.<\/p>\n
