Problem
Electric vehicle (EV) range can decrease significantly in hot weather due to air conditioning use, reducing operational efficiency and increasing costs for businesses. Many potential EV buyers are concerned about this range reduction.
Solution
Cryo X Co offers a passive daytime radiative cooling paint designed to reflect solar energy and emit heat, reducing the temperature of outdoor surfaces without consuming electricity. Applying this paint to EVs mitigates air conditioning-related range loss, leading to increased range, fewer charging stops, and lower electricity costs. The paint helps maintain operational efficiency and provides cost savings by reducing the need for air conditioning.
Target Audience
The primary customers are EV fleet operators, commercial vehicle businesses, and IoT device manufacturers seeking to improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs.
