GrapBat

We love batteries.
Our vision is to provide the globes power source as we aim to
facilitate environmental sustainability.
Our mission starts by providing vehicles with an electric power
source that is more powerful, more efficient and more
environmentally responsive then the current electric framework. Our
team believes that the current electrical motor industry has a
number of drawbacks that hold electric vehicles from becoming a
consumer orientated vehicle sector.

Problem
Simply put, we believe the fundamental key to a more
environmentally sustainable future derives from electric motor
vehicles. Indeed, normal fuel combustion vehicles are more
consumer orientated as opposed to normal lithium-ion powered
electric motors due to their convenience and cost. As a result,
worldwide consumers are contributing to green house gases that are
burning through the ozone layer.
Our team believe that in order to have more people driving electric
powered vehicles, we will need to improve the convenience of
electric vehicles.
The first major issue is the relative motor life cycle of the current
normal lithium ion batteries and the normal fuel combustion motor.
The current batteries have a motor life cycle of 250km, whilst fuel
vehicles have a life cycle of approximately 500km. That depicts the
life cycle of a battery powered vehicle is significantly less and as a
result negatively affects the amount of people driving electric
powered vehicles.
Another problem for electric motors that relates to an inattentive
approach to consumer orientation is the time it takes to charge an
electric vehicle. As such, the average human sleeps between 7-9
hours, yet the time taken to charge your vehicle is 9.5 hours, which
quite clearly is a bottleneck.
Thirdly, the efficiency of the current battery diminishes over time,
thus ultimately reducing consumer satisfaction.
Additionally, two major problems that limit the sales of electric
motor vehicles is the cost of the current market for these motors.
Indeed, normal lithium ion batteries are one of the most expensive
units in the vehicle, whilst these batteries also take up a large
amount of space.
Ultimately, these are problems that have reduced the consumer
satisfaction of the current market, yet these problems clearly
recognise an opportunity for solutions.

Solution
Our vision is to become the leading power source for environmental
sustainability. Our mission is to manufacture and produce graphene
fibre based batteries that will reinvigorate the electrical motor
industry by making electric cars more powerful, more efficient and
more convenient.
The exciting properties that graphene proposes establishes exciting
opportunities.
Graphene is the most conductive material in the world, it can be as
thin as one atom yet still be 100x stronger than steel. Indeed,
Grapbat has utilised these properties in order to make a battery that
will revolutionise the electric motor industry.
Graphene based batteries have a motor life cycle of approximately
500km, which is the same as the normal fuel combustion vehicle.
For our team, the biggest break through has been through our
development of the charging capabilities of the graphene batteries.
Using supercapcitators, which is simply the charging mechanism
we can now charge an electric motor within approximately 4
minutes. This break through recognises our approach to consumer
orientation and our dedication to a convenient electric motor
vehicle.
Additionally, our GrapBat batteries store twice the amount of energy
when compared to normal lithium ion batteries, and as a result,
our clients electric vehicles will be able to store double the
explosive acceleration.
Moreover, due to graphenes malleable capacity and extreme
thinness, GrapBat is able to integrate our batteries into different
body panels of the motor vehicle such as the doors, roof and floor.
Finally, our batteries are in alignment with our vision of trying to be
a part of a more environmentally sustainable future; this is depicted
in the clean properties of our batteries as they can be used as
garden fertilizer.
