"Green energy technology developer Fortescue Zero has been announced as the
“Official Pit Boost Provider” of the Formula E World Championship for the 11
the season of the electric vehicle racing competition.
Fortescue, part of iron ore giant Fortescue Metals’ big green energy pivot, was
chosen because of its technology that can add a 10 per cent boost to total
battery capacity in just 30 seconds.
The UK headquartered Fortescue Zero, formerly known as Williams Advanced
Engineering (WAE) before it was acquired by Fortescue Future Industries in
March 2022, developed its rapid and efficient ultra-fast booster system to be
capable of delivering two battery boosts per race from a portable unit.
Pit Boost is further enhanced by Fortescue Zero’s battery intelligence
software, Elysia, which is capable of optimising the speed of charging while
also preserving battery life and integrity. Specifically, Elysia enables the
race car battery to achieve a charging C-rate of around 15C."
