TOKYO — Immersion cooling for batteries could be the next big thing in electric-vehicle technology, with U.K. sports car maker Caterham using a Taiwanese system said to cool 30% faster than conventional methods.
“This will likely be the world’s first car equipped with immersion-cooling technology,” said President Kazuho Takahashi of Caterham’s Japanese parent, VT Holdings. Caterham said in December that it would use an immersion-cooling system in its Project V sports coupe prototype.
