SUSU Scientists Developed Instant All-Weather ‘Charge’ for KamAz Electromobile

The scientists of SUSU together with engineers of ‘KamAz’ developed a charging device for electromobiles of this trademark, the turnout of which is planned for the year 2020. This was reported by TASS information agency in South Ural State University which deals with this development. Earlier ‘KamAz’ announced their plans to produce an urban elecromobile; however, as it was noted by the company, “development of electromobiles restrains the cost of accumulator systems”.

“This device will allow charging 200 lithium-ion cells for electromobiles within minutes. According to the project, the system of charging will be universal – it will be possible to install it both at stationary charging pockets and chassis,” said the Head of the Project, Professor Andrei Keller, remarking that the system can work in any weather conditions: in hot deserts and in frozen Arctic region.  

As one of the developers Professor Evgenii Solomin and PhD student Evgenii Sirotkin noted, the charging system can be fed from renewable energy sources. “For example, wind-driven power plants, solar batteries and other analogical energy-generating objects. On top of that, the system allows distributing electricity from one automobile to another,” they clarified.

Such systems will be affordable for electric tucks, urban automobile transport and even for ordinary owners of electromobiles. The cost will be just 30-50 thousand rubles.

“This developed system is an import substitution of analogical foreign systems with advanced charge quality by 50%,” told the technical project leader Denis Korobatov.

According to him, the charging device is intelligent and allows determining the network power automatically.

“The voltage of 600 volts allows setting in motion ‘KamAz’ with the supply of onboard equipment. Moreover, so-called initial ‘drop’ charge is added to the traditional method, which allows ‘livening up’ even excessively overdischarged battery while impulsive charge-discharge,” emphasized the scientist.

The works on creating the system of speed-up charge began in 2013 and will be assumed to the mass implementation already in 2017.

As it was said before in ‘KamAz’ press service, “the project of the twentieth century” is a working title of new KamAz product devoted to implement all the newest developments of automobile industry and remain the price at the affordable level for consumers. As it was earlier informed by ‘KamAz’ General Director Deputy on the Development Irek Gumerov, one of the main tasks is the production of energy efficient automobile. “The option of creating the urban electromobile is considering. Today the development of electromobiles holds back the cost of accumulator systems, however, it is expected that during the nearest years the issues of profitability will be solved,” – the representatives of the company said.
