The American startup, Rivian, is planning to increase the “volumetric energy density” of their battery packs used in the R1T and R1S electric vehicles.

The main point is to focus on the temperature of the battery pack because this management is the key to the new technology, where the system works to draw heat away from the center of each battery module.

Richard Farquhar, Vice President of Propulsion at Rivian Automotive, says “We have what we believe is currently the highest volumetric energy density modules and pack in the world. It’s about 20-25% greater energy density in watt-hours per liter compared to anything on the market today.”
