Electric motor vehicle and redox flow module and cartridge therefor

摘要

An electric motor vehicle with a drive motor, a first rechargeable battery with a first design and a second rechargeable battery with a second design. Electrical energy may be transferred bidirectionally between the drive motor and the first rechargeable battery, and at least unidirectionally from the second rechargeable battery to the drive motor or the first rechargeable battery. The second rechargeable battery in this case includes at least one redox flow cell. Furthermore, a redox flow module is provided with at least one redox flow cell, which includes an electrical coupling for connection to a circuit of a vehicle and a fluid coupling for connection to an electrolyte circuit of said vehicle.

主权项

1. An electric motor vehicle, comprising:
a drive motor; a first rechargeable battery of a first type of rechargeable battery, and configured such that electrical energy is transferable bi-directionally between the drive motor and the first rechargeable battery; a second rechargeable battery of a second type of rechargeable battery different than the first type of rechargeable battery, and configured such that electrical energy is transferable at least uni-directionally from the second rechargeable battery to one of the driver motor and the first rechargeable battery, the second rechargeable battery comprising at least one redox flow cell; a portable cartridge holding at least one electrolyte provided for the operation of the redox flow cell; and a fluid coupling configured to connect the portable cartridge to an electrolyte circuit of the motor vehicle.
