Lithium-ion Batteries for Transportation: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs); Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs); Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs); Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs)

Boston-Power's lithium-ion battery technology platform delivers the most advanced rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) available for the transportation market today, allowing our partners, like Saab, to offer a market-leading, long-range EV driving experience.

Our Swing® cells, blocks, modules and systems provide an optimal combination of dependable energy density and power for both distance and drive performance for long-range Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) applications. Specifically, our Swing cells can deliver 180Wh/kg of energy density, (twice that of the lithium iron phosphate and NiMH solutions available today), combined with pulse power of 1500W/kg (2 sec) and constant power of 440W/kg for improved vehicle acceleration – significantly exceeding both energy density and power targets for BEVs and PHEV-40s set by the USABC (United States Automotive Battery Consortium). And with a lightweight and compact design that delivers up to 50% weight and space savings compared to alternatives, our battery systems provide a significant cost advantage in terms of materials, motor size and space. We are committed to bringing our battery, electronics and drive train expertise to the automotive industry.

High energy density combined with long cycle life also make our products an ideal choice for other transportation applications, such as electric Light Commercial Vehicles (e-LCVs), Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) and premium e-bikes and e-scooters.
