KPIT Technologies has unveiled its Sodium (Na) battery technology, through its collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune for the project. The IISER Pune team contributed to the material synthesis, battery testing, and assisted in the development of battery chemistry with high energy density
The technology is set to lower the cost of an electric vehicle (EV) battery by 25-30 percent compared to the current lithium-ion batteries, along with an extended lifespan with 80 percent capacity retention for 3000-6000 cycles. It offers use cases for automotive and mobility, especially for electric two and three-wheelers, and commercial vehicles. The battery can support stationary deployments such as UPS backups and grid storage, and also find application in the marine and defence sectors, while reducing India’s import dependency on core battery materials
KPIT is looking to partner with battery manufacturers to make the battery using its proprietary technology, and lots of companies in India and globally have evinced interest in using its sodium-ion technology
Based on extensive research and development (R&D) and market survey across various vehicle categories, Pune-based technology firm has been able to develop sodium-ion technology ensuring India’s weather, user needs and cost aspects
