The battery is the heart of an electric vehicle, bearing the electric energy required to propel the vehicle.
Our battery system is built upon 400V modules combined into a modular, scalable pack architecture that supports operation at 400V, 800V (in charging mode) and 1200V (in traction mode).
In charging mode, the 800 V architecture allows compatibility with direct current (DC) fast-chargers of up to 350 kW, with our design targeting a charging time of 20% to 80% state of charge within around 10 minutes. As a result, charging times are drastically reduced, compared to the typical 400 V architectures.
In traction mode, the nominal voltage of the ODYSSEV powertrain is 1200 V, allowing for lower losses due to lower currents. Traction power targets a maximum of 100 kW.
The modular pack design also means a faulty pack can be replaced individually rather than swapping the whole battery.
