Here’s how the EFOY Pro fuel cell works in an electric car.

The EFOY Pro fuel cell teams up with the car’s battery and continually monitors it voltage, recharging it whenever necessary. This combination plays to the strengths of both power sources. The fuel cell will provide enough electricity to power the vehicle for weeks on end while the battery – the storage medium – will deliver peak power when needed as when accelerating. There’s no need to modify anything on the car, making the EFOY fuel cell ideal for retrofitting.

 

The EFOY fuel cell works like a mobile charger for the car’s battery.

With an EFOY Pro fuel cell on board, a driver can be sure that his car’s batteries are always completely charged. He needn’t lift a finger. The fuel cell will power the car reliably week after week without ever needing to stop to recharge at an electrical outlet.

The fuel cell: a clean way to generate energy

The EFOY Pro fuel cell makes use of what it known as “cold combustion“. Methanol and oxygen undergo an electrochemical process to transform into electrical energy. Aside from electricity, the only other “byproducts” are CO² and water vapor in an amount comparable to a child’s breath.

 

 

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

 

EFOY fuel cartridges – the clean power source for electric cars

The EFOY Pro fuel cell is an environmentally friendly source of energy. In contrast to gasoline or diesel engines, it produces no harmful emissions. Instead, it generates electricity from methanol, a liquid alcohol. Today, more and more methanol is being generated from second-generation organic waste or even household refuse. One advantage of methanol is that it possesses an extremely high energy density. A fuel cell can extract 11.1 kilowatts from 10 liters of methanol weighing only 8.4 kg. That’s as much electricity as from 300 kg worth of lead batteries! That’s the reason why something that weighs so little can pack so much power. 

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

 

The EFOY Pro/battery hybrid

The EFOY pro fuel cell works like a mobile charger, continually monitoring battery voltage. If the battery is drained, the EFOY Pro fuel cell will deliver power whether the car is moving, in stop-and-go traffic or is parked at the office. The EFOY Prof fuel cell continues to recharge until the battery is topped up, which means that you can go for weeks on end and not have to worry about completely running down the battery.

Installing the EFOY Pro fuel cell into an electric car

Installation of the EFOY Prof fuel cell requires only minimal adjustments to the car’s electrical system, which means that any car on the market can be equipped or retrofitted.
Depending on the car’s size and its power requirements, two or more EFOY Pro fuel cells may see duty. This makes it possible to adapt output precisely to each individual car’s needs. If the car’s voltage range exceeds that of the EFOY Pro fuel cell, external transformers can be interposed.
