Flux Power said that it will provide Wheego Electric Cars with energy systems that combine power and energy density with safety and life cycle performance. These systems include Flux Power’s ‘Cell Guard’ technology that is said to extend the life of lithium batteries.
Flux Power is manufacturing energy storage modules in Southern California and working with Wheego at their Atlanta, Georgia, facility for durability and impact strategy development work.
The Wheego Whip LiFe FSV is expected to ship this summer. Wheego said that its Whip FSV has a target range of 100 miles on a single charge of Flux Power’s lithium storage system.
Chris Anthony, CEO of Flux Power, said: ”It has been great to work with Wheego throughout their vehicle development process. After seeing how great their EVs have performed in range and preliminary safety testing, it shows us how well Wheego has engineered these vehicles.
”Flux Power is excited to help an innovative American company like Wheego advance the future of transportation, reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.”
Mike McQuary, CEO of Wheego, said: ”Wheego Electric Cars selected Flux Power because of the company’s ability to meet our performance and durability metrics along with their capacity to rapidly scale to our volume production. Flux Power’s technology has allowed us to develop the world’s most environmentally friendly cars which don’t sacrifice style, safety, or performance.”
