KPIT rolls out the first Sodium-Ion battery technology in India
By MYBRANDBOOK
KPIT Technologies has rolled out its sodium-ion battery technology. This new technology is set to lower the cost of electric vehicle batteries, with an anticipated reduction of 25-30% compared to existing lithium-ion batteries. The sodium-ion battery technology provides a prolonged lifespan with 80% capacity retention over 3000-6000 cycles and quicker charging capabilities in comparison to lithium-ion batteries.
KPIT joins a small and elite group of sustainability-focused organisations worldwide that have developed sodium-ion-based battery technology. This battery technology promises to reduce import dependency on core battery materials. It has several use-cases for automotive and mobility, especially for electric two and 3-wheelers and commercial vehicles. It has promising applications in stationary deployments, such as UPS backups and grid storage, as well as in the marine and defence sectors.
This demonstrates the exemplary and synergetic industry-academia collaboration between KPIT and the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune. The IISER Pune team led by Dr. Satishchandra Ogale have made remarkable contributions to material synthesis, characterisation and battery testing.
Commenting on this announcement, Ravi Pandit, Co-founder and Chairman of KPIT Technologies, said, “Sustainability is at the heart of KPIT’s vision. We are working on multiple technologies to reimagine mobility and accelerate the push towards cleaner transportation. As the electric mobility ecosystem matured, we were cognizant of having alternate battery technologies and localising the storage value chain. Our Sodium-ion battery technology, completely reliant on Earth’s abundant raw materials, is another testament to KPIT’s commitment towards the sustainable mobility ecosystem. We look forward to partnering with manufacturing companies to commercialise this technology globally.”
Key highlights of this sodium-ion battery technology
Extended lifespan with 80% capacity retention for 3000 – 6000 cycles
Multiple variants having distinct performance characteristics and energy density ranging from 100-170 Wh/Kg
Faster charging than common lithium batteries
Superior sub-zero temperature tolerance
Excellent high-temperature tolerance with minimal thermal management
Enhanced Safety
Substantially reduce the cost of ownership and increase the vehicle uptime, thereby increasing income
As a core technology company, KPIT will continue to enhance battery technology. KPIT is inviting partners to manufacture and commercialise this technology.
