It can generate up to 600 kW of energy, rendering brakes ineffective.
DS Automobiles, a premium electric car that also has motorsports backing it up, winning Formula E championships in two consecutive seasons. Stellantis Group, a French luxury marque, has created the E-Tense Performance Concept. The E-Tense Performance Concept, an evolution of the DS E-Tense Concept, was created in 2016. It is a “very high-performance laboratory” that will help accelerate the development and design of technology for future DS Automobiles models. The DS E-Tense Performance Concept is a carbon monocoque chassis that uses a Formula E single-seater drivetrain. It is equipped with two electric motors, one front and one back. The total output is 815 horsepower (600 Kilowatts) and 5,900 pounds (8,000 Newton-meters). at the wheels.
These are just the beginning. The DS E-Tense Performance Concept has a 600 kW regeneration rate. DS stated that regeneration will only be used to brake, but it still has a braking system which includes discs and pads for safety. The battery is, of course, the most important part of the concept car that TotalEnergies and its subsidiary Saft jointly designed. The partnership also developed an immersive cooling system that can cool cells and accelerate them to up to 600 kW. This is in contrast with the current technology.
“The idea is to also find ways to reduce costs, make them more easily to manufacture and to explore production models. These developments will be beneficial to the next generation of E-TENSE range,” stated Thomas Chevaucher DS Performance Director. The new DS E-Tense Performance Concept is also a design study for DS Automobiles. Jean-Eric Vergne, Formula E champion, and Antonio Felix da Costa, E-Tense Performance’s development manager will be taking turns starting in February 2022. After the race, real-world performance data and other information will be made public.
