If you are a fast speed racer and have a passion for car racing games then be ready to experience the real car rally in the mid of sky with no limits in free games. Enjoy the real impossible track race on the endless extreme impossible tracks in the sky highs. We’d like to see this technology being deployed for other sports, to replace diesel generators, because that’s the principle aim of our technology at this stage-to do a like-for-like replacement of diesel technology so people can reduce their carbon emissions.Welcome to the world of real impossible tracks car racing games. “You have Formula E and then Extreme E, so the technology has been developed for motorsport. “This is the first time that motorsport has used this type of technology to charge vehicles,” says Thomson.
And the vehicle charger is linked to that battery storage unit, so when you see one of the Odyssey 21 vehicles charging on an Extreme E race weekend, it’s going to be drawing on power from that battery storage unit.” The fuel cell draws from that green hydrogen to create power, which is then fed into the battery storage unit. “That hydrogen is then stored in cylinders, ready for use over the weekend. “In the days leading up to each of the race weekends, hydrogen is going to be generated from a combination of solar arrays powering electrolyzers,” said Thomson. Then you’ve got the alkaline fuel cell unit, a battery storage unit, and then the charger itself.” “You’ve got the fuel production-the green hydrogen. Iain Thomson, AFC’s Head of Communications and Stakeholder Management, explained to Charged that the charging system consists of four main components, each housed in shipping containers. AFC’s system includes hydrogen fuel cells in addition to stationary battery storage. The power to charge the Odyssey 21 racing cars comes from a separate system, provided by AFC Energy.

One powers Extreme E’s Command Centre, and the other three support the TV communication nodes that transmit signals from around the racecourse so the TV broadcast can be produced remotely. UK-based temporary power specialist Power Logistics provided four solar-powered battery energy storage systems. “Batteries are removed from EVs when they are no longer suitable for powering the vehicle, but they still have life left for further usage.” “A second-life battery is one that has served its intended life in an electric vehicle and has been repurposed or reused in a new application,” Meersman explains. We presented the idea of powering the paddock using repurposed batteries and it made perfect sense.” “Extreme E presented a unique opportunity for us.

“We support companies all over the world in the EV sector, offering full turnkey solutions, which include building, financing and operation of charging infrastructure,” said Steven Meersman, Zenobē’s co-founder and Director.
London-based Zenobē is providing a system based on second-life batteries to power Extreme E’s broadcasting, race and event control, and media center.

The series is working with several innovative and environmentally conscious suppliers to deliver the electricity needed while keeping its carbon footprint as low as possible. The usual way to provide electricity for an event at a remote location is by means of a diesel generator-but that wouldn’t be an option for Extreme E, which has sustainability at the core of its mission. None of these locales have access to an electrical grid-or any other facilities. The first two races took place in the Saudi Arabian desert and on the beaches of Senegal, and the next will be on a glacier in Greenland. The electric rally racing series is staging events in some of the harshest, most remote locations on Earth. If you thought installing Level 2 charging in your detached garage was a hassle, consider what Extreme E has to go through to power its races. The front and rear motors are traditionally cooled with water.”
“We cool down the batteries only while charging or before the race by blowing air into them. “This avoids the use of expensive and not environmentally friendly dielectric fluids, and also avoids potential leaks,” said Mr. Above: A look at Extreme E's all-electric racing in some of the most remote corners of the planet (YouTube: Extreme E)Ĭonsidering that the Extreme E races will take place in extreme temperatures, which are known to be hard on EV batteries, we were surprised to learn that the battery packs don’t use any active cooling while running.
