After making a debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the Quant e-Sportlimousine with nanoFLOWCELL drivetrain has received approval from TÜV Süd in Munich for use on public roads in Germany and Europe.

Quantum leap in the development of electric mobility

Posing as a game-changing breakthrough for electric vehicles, the Quant e-Sportlimousine stands out in its crystal lake blue” paint, distinctive rear window, gullwing doors, a sloping double bubble roof as well as an extremely curved front and rear windscreen and 22-inch tyres.

The four-seat interior stands out with its jet-cockpit style which is accentuated by premium leather upholstery, ash wood trim and copper accents. There’s also a full-length centre console and a massive display that measures 1.25 meters wide and 16 centimetres tall.

At the heart of the QUANT e-Sportlimousine is the nanoFLOWCELL battery which gives the car a driving range of 600 km. The car is additionally equipped with four electric motors that produce a combined output of 480 kW. This setup allows the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, reaching a top 380 km/h.

How the nanoFLOWCELL works

According to the company, “flow cells combine aspects of electrochemical accumulator cells with those of fuel cells. Liquid electrolytes are kept in two tanks and circulated through the cell. At the heart of the system, a membrane separates the two electrolytic solutions, but allows electrical charge to pass through and thereby produce power for the drive train.”

The company goes on to say “The nanoFLOWCELL has a 5-times greater performance-by-weight than current lithium-ion technologies that power most of today’s electrical vehicles, meaning its driving range is 5-times greater than a conventional unit of the same weight.”

“The advantages of the nanoFLOWCELL® lie in its high charge density, high performance density, and its light weight compared to conventional energy storage systems. Furthermore, it contains no harmful substances, no moving parts, and it is very efficient,” explained Nunzio La Vecchia, technical director of nanoFLOWCELL AG.
