- Companies to create graphene enabled supercar
- Electric vehicle powered by graphene
- The car is expected to be ready by the first quarter of 2016 and is expected to do zero to sixty in 2.0 to 2.2 second.
(2D Materials Magazine)- SUNVAULT ENERGY INC. and the EDISON POWER COMPANY have announced that they are building an Electric Supercar powered by a Graphene Energy Storage device, a Graphene-based hydrogen fuel cell.
“The fuel cell will be powered by an on demand Hydrogen generation unit built into the car and will only require water” according to Dr. Robert Murray-Smith, Director of Sunvault Energy.
The car will be named the “Edison Electron One” and will be built by the newly incorporated Edison Motor Cars. The companies will also be collaborating with MK Technologies Ltd. (http://www.mktechnologies.com/).
The car is expected to be ready by the first quarter of 2016 and is expected to do zero to sixty in 2.0 to 2.2 seconds and be rechargeable in 5 minutes, subject to power availability at charging stations.
Edison Motor Cars will be making these “Electric Supercar” automobiles available to customers on a special order basis only.
