Why Shell’s oils and fluids are still vital in an electric car
Shell’s E-Thermal fluid is a synthetic dielectric oil with very low viscosity for the best thermal properties, zero impurities to avoid interfering with the electrical performance of circuitry and a low number of additives.
“Depending on the size and output of the battery, the volume needed in each vehicle could be between something like nine to 15 litres of fluid,” said Dobrowski. Shell’s other main E-Fluid is for electric motors/transmissions, where Formula E is also accelerating development. The race motor speeds can reach 30,000rpm, whereas a road car’s motor maximum is more in the range of 10,000-20,000rpm, which quickens the learning process.
Lubricants and cooling fluids are very much an unsung part of the car industry, yet they're huge business and will play a significant role in improving the breed of the electric car of the future.What does the future hold for Big Oil in an electric world?
