Jaguar has announced that its engineering team has partnered with Pramac to develop a zero-emission energy storage device powered by Jaguar-PACE batteries.
Pramac's technology, known as an off-grid battery energy storage system (ESS), uses lithium-ion batteries with Jaguar-PACE secondary batteries with a lifespan of one and a half years to provide zero-emission electricity when plugged into the mains .
To demonstrate its capabilities, the unit helps Jaguar TCS Racing play a role in the 2022 ABBFIA Formula E World Championship in the UK and Spain, running the car team's cutting-edge equipment diagnostics, analysing the car's on-track performance, and servicing Jaguar The station provides auxiliary power.
The testing and validation of the off-grid battery ESS by Jaguar TCS Racing is a good demonstration of technology transfer. Jaguar TCS Racing previously offered I-PACE customers a software over-the-air (SOTA) update that increased the actual range by 20km.
The flagship ESS system has a capacity of up to 125kWh – enough to fully charge Jaguar’s award-winning all-electric I-PACE high-performance SUV, or power the average household for a week. Charged by solar panels, the unit is a self-contained solution consisting of a battery system connected to a bidirectional converter and an associated control management system. Available as commercial leases, the units are equipped with an electric vehicle (EV) charging connection with dynamic control and are rated up to 22kW AC to allow EV charging.
Removing the battery from the vehicle prevents premature battery recycling and helps ensure a safe supply of rare materials. The state-of-the-art 90kWh lithium-ion battery in the Jaguar-PACE delivers up to 294kW and 696Nm of instantaneous torque, enabling acceleration from 0-100Km/h in 4.8 seconds. The battery's durability is high to match its outstanding performance and efficiency, and I-PACE customers benefit from an 8-year or 160,000km battery warranty, during which it must remain at least 70% healthy.
This advanced engineering makes the I-PACE battery ideal for secondary or even tertiary use with low energy consumption once battery health falls below the stringent requirements of an electric vehicle. Once the battery finally reaches its end of life, 95% of its materials are recyclable.
In addition to working with industry leaders such as Pramac, Jaguar TCS Racing is also committed to a future addition to FormulaE's Gen3 team. The team will further help Jaguar Land Rover develop new sustainable technologies, work with partners to set new quality benchmarks and support Jaguar's revival of its all-electric luxury brand from 2025.
Andrew Whitworth, Battery Manager, Jaguar Land Rover Circular Economy Team, said: "This announcement is a great example of how we will work with industry leaders to deliver on our sustainable future. And achieve a true circular economy. We are delighted to be working together Partnering with Pramac to use Jaguar-PACE secondary batteries to provide portable zero-emission power and supporting Jaguar TCS Racing this season is a great opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of these devices."
James Barclay, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal, said: "Formula E is the world's first net zero carbon sport since its inception. Jaguar TCS Racing is always looking to improve our carbon footprint and the use of a storage system gives us an innovative renewable Energy Solutions Testing."
Danny Jones, Director of Pramac, said: “We are proud to work closely with Jaguar Land Rover, a strong partner for us. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Jaguar Land Rover and delivering innovative charging infrastructure solutions to support the electrification of its state-of-the-art vehicles ."
