The BEV Range Problem
-
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) fleets continue to grow globally, catalyzed by government incentives,
-
However, fleet operators with on-road experience operating these zero-emissions vehicles consistently report that it’s very challenging in winter.
-
The parasitic drain of electric heaters on the BEV battery packs reduces driving range by up to 50%!
The Proof Energy Solution
In direct response to this urgent market need Proof Energy has fast-tracked the development of one of our fuel cell subsystems and packaged it as a standalone product.
Proof Energy’s proprietary ClearTherm® zero emissions catalytic oxidation heaters provide a breakthrough range extender solution for BEVs operating in cold climates:
• Runs on readily available, low-cost bioethanol fuel
• Delivers zero NOx, SOx, HCs, CO & particulate emissions
• Provides up to 12kW of thermal output
• Interfaces with existing vehicle coolant-based heating systems
• Communicates using standard CAN protocol
• Replaces conventional diesel fuel-fired and electric heaters
• Meets CARB standards and requirements (certification pending)
