Proterra Power Launches Revolutionary Bagail Compression Technology for Extended EV Range & Efficiency

BURLINGAME, CA – October 26, 2023 – Proterra Powered LLC, a leading innovator in battery technology for commercial vehicles, today announced a breakthrough in energy density using its new Bagail Compression technology. This isn’t just a tweak – it’s a game-changer for electric vehicle (EV) range, performance, and overall cost-effectiveness. For those following the EV revolution, especially in the demanding world of buses and trucks, this is big news. Proterra Power, located at 1815 Rollins Rd, Burlingame, CA, has spent the last decade focusing on powering the transition to clean, sustainable transportation. We’re not just building batteries, we’re building a future where electric vehicles are the norm, not the exception. And that means pushing the boundaries of what's possible with battery technology. You can reach us at 254-542-8622 if you have any questions. So, what is Bagail Compression? Simply put, it’s a smart way to pack more energy into the same space. Traditional lithium-ion batteries have a lot of ‘dead space’ – areas within the cell that aren't actively contributing to energy storage. Think of it like packing a suitcase – you want to maximize every inch! Bagail Compression effectively minimizes this wasted space by applying a precisely calibrated pressure during the battery cell manufacturing process. “We’ve been working on this for years,” explains a lead engineer at Proterra Power. “It’s not about squeezing the cells harder, it’s about squeezing them smarter. We've developed a proprietary process and tooling to apply just the right amount of pressure at the right time, optimizing the internal structure of the cells.” What does this mean for EV owners and operators? The benefits of Bagail Compression are significant: Increased Range: This is the headline grabber. Bagail Compression allows Proterra Power batteries to store more energy – up to 20% more – without increasing the battery pack’s size or weight. That translates directly into extended range for electric buses, trucks, and other commercial vehicles. For bus routes that were just barely achievable on a single charge, this could be the difference between success and failure. Reduced Battery Pack Size & Weight: If you don't need the extra range, you can use a smaller, lighter battery pack for the same performance. This is huge for vehicle designers. A lighter vehicle is more efficient, handles better, and can carry more payload. Lower Cost Per kWh: More energy in the same space – or the same energy in less space – lowers the overall cost of the battery pack. This makes electric vehicles more affordable, both upfront and over the life of the vehicle. Proterra Power is committed to driving down the total cost of ownership for electric fleets. Improved Thermal Management: The compression process actually improves the internal structure of the cells, leading to better heat dissipation. This makes the battery pack more stable, more reliable, and less prone to overheating – a crucial factor for demanding applications like heavy-duty trucks. Faster Charging Potential: While still under development, preliminary tests suggest that Bagail Compression could also enable faster charging rates. A more efficient internal structure facilitates faster ion flow, allowing the battery to absorb energy more quickly. Bagail Compression: Beyond the Tech Specs Proterra Power isn’t just offering a technological upgrade, they’re offering a solution to real-world challenges. Electric vehicle adoption is booming, but range anxiety and high costs remain significant barriers. Bagail Compression addresses both of these concerns head-on. “We’re seeing incredible demand for electric buses and trucks,” says a company spokesperson. “But operators need confidence that these vehicles can meet their needs. They need to know they can complete their routes without worrying about running out of power. Bagail Compression gives them that confidence.” Real-World Applications & Testing Proterra Power has been rigorously testing Bagail Compression technology in a variety of applications. The technology is currently being deployed in pilot programs with several major transit agencies and commercial fleets. Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Operators are reporting noticeable improvements in range, performance, and overall efficiency. One transit agency in Southern California is reporting a 15% increase in range on its electric bus routes, allowing it to expand service to previously unreachable areas. The Future of Battery Technology Proterra Power believes that Bagail Compression is just the beginning. The company is continuing to invest in research and development, exploring new ways to push the boundaries of battery technology. “We’re committed to driving innovation in the electric vehicle space,” says the CEO of Proterra Power. “We believe that electric vehicles are the future of transportation, and we’re dedicated to making that future a reality.” Availability & Contact Information Bagail Compression technology is currently available as an option in Proterra Power’s latest generation of battery packs.
