When powering EVs (cars, trucks, buses, semis, planes, boats, and drones), battery life often gets the headlines, but the capacitors deliver the power to run these vehicles. Capacitors sit between the battery and the electric motor to deliver power fast or slow based on performance demands. When a Tesla wants maximum acceleration in “Ludacris Mode,” capacitors deliver the burst of pulsed power required to create that acceleration. NanoPlex capacitor films provide the next-generation power boost demanded by big workloads, delivering the acceleration and torque required to move heavy cargo effectively.

  • arrow-right-icon-padding-top-0
    Improves EV Distances

    NanoPlex-based capacitors improve EV distances by offering significant weight savings versus industry-standard BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) capacitors through the elimination of secondary cooling devices.

  • arrow-right-icon-padding-top-0
    Optimized Torque and Power Delivery

    NanoPlex-based capacitors assist in discharging energy efficiently, which can optimize raw acceleration or maximize the torque required for Semis, Buses, and trucks transporting heavy cargo.

    Extended Battery Life

    NanoPlex-based capacitors discharge faster than BOPP, reducing battery demand and extending usable lifetime, thereby lowering total ownership costs.

    Reduce Cooling Requirements

    NanoPlex-based capacitors simplify vehicle powertrain layout and eliminate the need for thermal mitigation measures.

    Reduce EV Vehicle Weight

    NanoPlex-based capacitors can reduce vehicle weight and size and improve acceleration and braking for electric and large hybrid vehicles.

Capacitors enable the performance of EVs by working to quickly store and release energy and enabling rapid charging during peak demand periods. NanoPlex-based capacitors help regulate power flow, reducing strain on the electrical grid and allowing faster, more efficient charging by providing instantaneous power when needed. Their ability to swiftly discharge energy enhances charging station efficiency, making the overall process faster and more effective for electric vehicle users.
