There are advances in electric vehicles all the time.
But the Quantino is boasting something altogether unique to the EV space.
The electric vehicle concept, made by a company called nanoFlowcell, doesn't plug in to recharge the way electric vehicles do. No. Instead, it runs on something that nanoFlowcell calls electrolyte fuel, as reported by Mashable.
While the company didn't exactly tell the website what electrolyte fuel consists of, it did offer that the technology behind it is already in use in "some countries," possibly paving the way for it to be used in electric cars, like the Quantino, and extending to trains, airplanes and boats as well.
Mashable is additionally reporting that the Quantino touts a low-voltage powertrain, distributing power to its four electric motors located in the wheels. The concept also features Falcon doors as seen below.
But the words low-voltage being used to describe the electric vehicle are pretty apt, considering it's only slated to carry around 107 horsepower — far less than other EVs in the space and less than most vehicles on the road, period, for that matter. But that might be the case because of the mysterious electrolyte fuel that the company says it runs on.
That being said, nanoFlowcell also touts a concept vehicle called the Quant Fe, which Mashable says has 1,090 horsepower raging under the hood, so the developer seems to be capable of much more.
While there's a concept of the Quantino and nanoFlowcell tells Mashable that it's "near standard" of being street-legal, the company is currently unsure if it will mash the dash on getting them produced and ready to sell just yet.
The Quantino is slated to be one of the many vehicles on display at the 86th annual Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland early next month.
