Performance and electric traction go hand in hand more and more, with several brands and small specialized ateliers presenting their battery-powered hypercars, ready to revolutionize an increasingly crowded segment. Accumulator technology is therefore becoming increasingly crucial to support full electric powertrains which in some cases exceed 1,000 hp. The Palatov D8, an electric hypercar with modular batteries based on an innovative technology that can reach 900 hp with a weight of only 1,000 kg thanks to a structure completely in carbon fiber.
The project carried out by Palatov Motorsport LLC, founded by Dennis Palatov in 2008, in fact aims to revolutionize the sector, not so much for the power released by its hypercar, all in line with other exclusive models but precisely for the technology developed. in the area of batteries. The pack of accumulators that equips the D8 will have a capacity between 40 and 60 kWh, thus guaranteeing an autonomy of more than 480 km by virtue of the low weight of this electric supercar. In these cases, the batteries are based on a different idea than those that usually equip other EVs, even the high-performance ones: the primary idea is to review the reorganization of cells and modules within the system, making them work. in series rather than parallel to supply the voltage needed by each module. Each of the modules will be based on an 800 V architecture and connected to the system via a relay, thus allowing it to be shut down and fully isolated in the event of a fault.
Each cell will therefore also have a monitoring chip that can also be controlled remotely, isolating the modules that do not work or that fail, making the car safer. The versatility of this model it will also allow the combination of different technologies, exploiting the modules with greater resistance for daily driving and those with greater density for longer journeys. Palatov, however, does not intend to stop there: on the batteries of the D8 it will be implemented with a unique NFT identifier with blockchain technology that will allow monitoring the entire life cycle of the cells from production to their reuse, also allowing them to be disabled or enabled individual modules to be remote. This last function could be particularly useful in case of theft, thus preventing the car from moving. The Palatov D8 will arrive on the road in a limited series with prices starting from 430,000 euros up to touch 1 million and will also be available with a hybrid powertrain as an alternative to the full electric version.
