Independent Test Backs Hydrohertz Dectravalve, Pointing to Up to 68% Faster EV Fast‑Charging

Automaker adoption remains unannounced despite independent validation.

Overview

  • Warwick Manufacturing Group fast‑charged a 100 kWh LFP pack fitted with the device and measured a hottest cell below 44.5°C with just a 2.6°C spread across the pack.
  • Hydrohertz says maintaining uniform cell temperatures enables typical 10–80% fast charges to drop from around 30 minutes to roughly 10, a reduction of up to 68%.
  • The compact control unit independently heats or cools up to four battery zones using a single coolant inlet with no cross‑flow between circuits.
  • The hardware is presented as chemistry‑agnostic and retrofit‑friendly, with claimed real‑world range gains of up to about 10% and slower long‑term degradation.
  • Company leadership features CEO Paul Arkesden, previously at Singer Vehicle Design and McLaren Automotive, and CTO Martyn Talbot, highlighting industry credentials.
