New 48-Volt Quant supercar can go 600 miles on a tank of ‘salt water’

Electric vehicles are just one of the many solutions that engineers have been pushing as a way to cut down on global warming and greenhouse gas emissions. However, there are a ton of issues holding back the EV market, most of all the time that it takes to charge a new battery. Now, the Quantino electric supercar could help change all of that, though.

The supercar, which is currently being developed and worked on by nanoFlowcell, utilizes a special kind of saltwater mixture that the company calls bi-ION electrolyte. The Quant48, which has been available for over five years at this point, has proven time and time again that the nanoFlowcell technology powering this electric supercar has a lot to offer.

And now, the company is looking to push things a step further, by working on a new 2+2 roadster that will offer even better mileage and performance. Part of what makes the current electric supercar so enticing, though, is that it offers up to 600 miles on one tank. This means you won’t need to worry about tracking EV charging stations on Google Maps for each trip you take.

Pretty good! Thanks for supplying a lot of information. It sure beats a short diatribe many others will offer.

If this technology pans out

Oil companies have found that when they place bacteria in old empty oil wells it turns into a hydrogen gold mine.

Seen on a science site maybe science alert?.

i thought the salt battery had a size problem as in way too big to power a vehicle

They solved that: The vehicle tows a trailer containing a 200-gallon tank of saltwater.

Salt is an acid and I’m not aware of any salts being a base.

Salts are NOT acids (= proton-donors). Saltwater has a pH of 7.

...and the company only needs a few billion dollars of tax dollars to make the technology work.

It would be nice if people stop falling for these scams.

It certainly sounds like a scam to me. There are few things better suited for transportation than liquid hydrocarbons. Nothing really.

Doesn't salt in the water gum up the pistons?

As long as the water doesn’t touch the batteries.

Commercial 0.9% saline solution for infusion has a pH around 5.5. Ocean salt water pH varies. (My chem is very rusty; had to look it up.)

Oh yeah? Well I once had a submarine fueled by baking soda and vinegar that would cruise and even submerge in my tub!

Hmmm... a gallon of salt water, or a gallon of gasoline? Which has more energy?

(Btw, takes equivalent of 26 gallons of hydrogen to match 1 gallon of gasoline.)

How much does that gallon of hydrogen weight compared to gasoline? Also, what is the pressure and temperature of the hydrogen used for the comparison?

The energy has to come from somewhere & you are correct, you will pay for that (& likely pay dearly & stand in line to do it).

V_TWIN - Harley I guess? That is a cool way to make CO2.
