IRVINE, Calif. – April 8, 2025 – Enevate, a pioneering battery innovation company enabling extreme fast charge and high energy density battery technologies for electric vehicles (EVs) and other markets, announces a significant breakthrough in battery performance designed to meet the extreme demands of high performance motorsports and other high-rate racing applications.
Enevate’s cutting-edge silicon dominant battery technology has successfully achieved continuous charge and discharge rates greater than 50C, with peak capabilities exceeding 100C in various cell formats. This milestone represents a major advancement in high-performance battery solutions, addressing the intense power requirements essential for motorsports applications. With Enevate’s proprietary Si (much greater than 70% Si) battery chemistry and cell design, racing teams can benefit from ultra-fast charging and discharging, high power output, and superior thermal stability—key attributes that enhance performance, efficiency, and reliability on the track.
“Enevate’s technology continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the EV and motorsports industries,” said Bob Kruse, CEO at Enevate. “Achieving sustained high charge and discharge rates without compromising safety or performance is a game-changer for motorsports teams looking for the next level of energy solutions.”
The advanced battery technology developed by Enevate offers a significant competitive edge in motorsports, such as F1, Formula-E and IMSA. The superior battery performance directly enhances a vehicle’s on-track capabilities through potent power delivery and efficiency. These demanding environments necessitate batteries capable of enduring rapid charge and discharge cycles while efficiently managing energy. The ability to recover kinetic energy generated during braking, a cornerstone of regenerative braking systems where energy captured during deceleration recharges the battery, is paramount. Enevate’s technology facilitates this efficient and rapid energy recovery, enabling teams to maximize performance, and also leading to invaluable advancements in battery technology applicable to electric and hybrid road vehicles.
Enevate’s innovation is set to contribute to the evolution of high-performance electric and hybrid racing platforms, offering a new standard for energy density and rapid power delivery in the most demanding environments.
