NanoFlowcell Quantino 25: 2,000 km Range… Is It Really True?

A revolutionary technology, exceptional range, and a friendly appearance… That is what the Quantino 25 promises, a very ambitious little roadster, but also very hypothetical.

Since the advent of electric technology for automobiles, new projects emerge constantly. Between the multitude of Chinese and European startups blossoming and technical advancements, the car still has many surprises in store.

Take a look at this Quantino 25. At first glance, one might think it’s just another pretty roadster, but upon closer inspection, its technical specifications are intriguing. Little known to the general public, NanoFlowcell is a British company that has just moved its headquarters to New York, USA. The manufacturer, which has already participated in some European auto shows like the Geneva Motor Show during its heyday in the 2010s.

First test drives in Europe

Relatively discreet lately, NanoFlowcell has been working behind the scenes and now returns with a Quantino 25, which recently completed notable test drives in the Principality of Monaco.

This new type of electric car is unique in that it does not have a battery. It is powered by an electrolyte fuel called Bi-iON that uses environmental resources like seawater, or even wastewater, to operate the vehicle. Thanks to the patented concept by NanoFlowcell, the water is purified and transformed into fuel through nano-structured molecules. The Bi-iON technology uses a positively charged electrolyte and a negatively charged anolyte that meet in a selective ion membrane, generating electricity.

The manufacturer emphasizes that this new kind of fuel is non-toxic, non-hazardous, and completely non-flammable.

Astonishing performance

Most notably, NanoFlowcell claims outstanding performance for the 2+2 roadster, reminiscent of Smart Roadster and Honda S660. The four 80-horsepower motors theoretically allow it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds and reach speeds up to 250 km/h on the track. As for the precious liquid, it provides up to 2,000 km of range thanks to two 125-liter tanks!

And for skeptics, who will likely be many, NanoFlowcell assures that its technology has been tested over nearly 500,000 km… The verdict soon on Mobiwisy?
