The Quant E also known as Quant e-Sportlimousine is an electric sports car manufactured by NanoFlowcell.[1]
The Quant E production car was launched in March 2014 Geneva Motor Show.[2] The production version of Quant E was launched in mid 2014[3] which runs on salt water battery technology.[4] Quant E is powered by four electric motors delivering 920 horsepower with a all electric range of 372 miles. Quant E performs 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph.[5] The car power system using the Flow cell technology under which Liquid electrolytes are kept in two tanks and connected through the cells.[6] A membrane separates the two electrolytic solutions when electrical charge passes between the cells, it produces power to the drive-train. Flow cell technology provided high charge and performance density with lesser weight. It is environment friendly as it contains no harmful substances and energy efficient.[7]
Quant E is a successor of the Koenigsegg Quant concept revealed in 2009 and lost in long history of technically or commercially unviable show cars.[8] It is a two-door, four-seater, four-wheel-drive, 5.25 meters long, 2.2 meters wide and 1.35 meters high with a curb weight of 2300 kg.
