Quick Takeaways
  • Immersion-cooled 800V battery technology enables compact, high-performance EV packaging with improved thermal control.
  • Caterham’s Project V showcases how immersion cooling and 800V architectures converge for next-generation electric sports cars.
On December 23, immersion-cooled 800V battery innovation moved into the spotlight as XING Mobility confirmed it will present the world’s first immersion-cooled 800V high-voltage DC BBU at CES 2026. The showcase also features Project V, an all-electric concept car from British sports car manufacturer Caterham, engineered around immersion-cooled battery technology for compact, high-performance EV packaging.
Immersion-Cooled 800V Battery Enables Compact EV Design
At the core of the reveal is XING Mobility’s IMMERSIO Cell-to-Pack platform, a module-free architecture that integrates cells directly into the pack. This approach reduces weight, improves thermal efficiency, and strengthens safety performance, making the immersion-cooled 800V battery suitable for vehicles with tight space constraints and demanding performance targets.
Key technical advantages of immersion-cooled battery architecture
  • Direct liquid immersion for uniform heat management
  • Higher power delivery supported by 800V electrical architecture
  • Reduced component count through Cell-to-Pack integration
  • Enhanced safety under high load and fast-charging conditions

Project V Demonstrates Immersion-Cooled 800V Battery Performance
Project V applies the IMMERSIO CTP solution to a lightweight electric sports car concept, balancing performance and safety within a compact vehicle envelope. By adopting the immersion-cooled 800V battery, the concept highlights how advanced thermal control can unlock higher energy density and sustained performance without compromising vehicle mass or packaging efficiency.
Global debut roadmap for Project V and battery technology
  • CES 2026: Public showcase of the immersion-cooled 800V high-voltage DC BBU and Project V concept
