Lamborghini said that it has cooperated with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to carry out a number of research projects, focusing on the development of supercapacitors. Compared with lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors of the same size can store energy faster and more. In addition, they are also looking for more new materials to store energy.
The person in charge of Lamborghini R&D project management thinks that electric drive will be the future of new energy vehicles, but at present, the weight of lithium-ion batteries remains high, so choosing pure electric drive is not the most suitable time for Lamborghini, which has been committed to portability, beauty and enjoyment. This is also the reason why Lamborghini has been vigorously developing supercapacitor technology.
This technology has been used in TERZO 2065 438+07? Experiments have been carried out on the MILLENNIO concept car, and will be launched in the upcoming limited edition 808 horsepower SiánFKP? Use on 37.
This model will be equipped with a 6.5-liter V 12 engine and a 48V motor, powered by a super capacitor. The motor can produce 34 horsepower and weigh 34 kilograms. Lamborghini officials say that its charging speed is three times that of a lithium-ion battery of the same size.
Although the supercapacitor used in Xi 'an is relatively small, Lamborghini and MIT are still studying it. They have recently obtained a patent for a new synthetic material, which is expected to be the technical basis of the next generation of supercapacitors, although it will take two to three years to be put into use.
In addition, Lamborghini and MIT are still studying how to store energy by injecting synthetic materials on the surface of carbon fiber.
Using the car body to store energy and using the car as a battery can not only reduce the overall weight of the car, but also replenish and utilize energy more quickly.
Although Lamborghini plans to launch a hybrid system in the next few years, pure electric vehicles are still Lamborghini's primary goal.
At present, Lamborghini is considering manufacturing its planned fourth model, which is a four-seat pure electric luxury station wagon, which will be released around 2025.
Lamborghini will launch a plug-in hybrid version of Urus. It is expected that the power system equipped with the Cayenne hybrid version may be used, which is very worthy of our expectation.
