qCella develops an innovative radiation surface heating technology that makes EV cabin heating up to 50% more efficient. Electric vehicles are key to Net Zero, yet in winter, inefficient cabin heating alone cuts driving range by 15 to 30%. This is a problem that traditional hot-air-based systems cannot solve.
qCella's paper-thin, flexible heating mats integrate directly into EV interior panelling, boosting driving range up to 25%. Based on a patent-pending copper-cellulose fiber material, our heating mats are customizable to almost any shape and size.
We de-risk our path to mobility via industrial manufacturing, before scaling into the e-mobility market. Our platform's potential extends further still: electromagnetic shielding, sensing, and specialty papers.
