Inventus Power, a global leader in the design and manufacture of advanced battery systems has partnered with Kawasaki to supply its 48V PROTRXion® HD Lithium-ion (Li-ion) Battery Packs for Kawasaki’s first electric four-wheeled vehicle, the NAV® 4e.
With a strong emphasis on performance and safety, Inventus Power worked collaboratively with Kawasaki’s engineering group to develop the NAV 4e powertrain system and deliver a seamlessly integrated driving experience.
The NAV 4e LE and Limited models feature two 48V, 3.2kWh Li-ion battery modules, offering a range up to 40-miles. The NAV 4e is also equipped with regenerative braking technology enabling one-pedal driving. You can recharge the NAV 4e by plugging in the vehicle’s dedicated smart charger to a household power outlet. Users can choose to fully charge the battery overnight or take advantage of opportunity charging which enables the Li-ion batteries to be charged intermittently.
48V PROTRXion Li-ion batteries are specifically designed for low-speed, on- and off-road electric vehicle applications. These batteries are UL2271, ECE R100/R10, and IEC 62619 certified, ensuring they meet global safety and performance standards. They have also passed rigorous testing for shock and vibration resistance (UL2580), are water/dustproof (IP67), and resistant to corrosion and rust. Additionally, they have an integrated heater to ensure functionality in cold weather during charging. Inventus Power’s proprietary battery management system (BMS) includes advanced functionality for monitoring and optimizing battery performance (i.e. State of Charge, State of Health, Safety Protection, & Smart Power Management Algorithms). These capabilities make PROTRXion batteries an optimal choice for Kawasaki’s innovative electric Personal Transportation Vehicle (ePTV).
Inventus Power was invited to Palm Springs, California in February 2025 by Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. to support the initial NAV® 4e launch event. The Inventus Power team helped educate the media, dealers, and staff on the features and benefits of their Li-ion batteries and how they integrate and operate seamlessly with the NAV 4e LE and Limited models to provide Kawasaki with the industry’s best-in-class PTV.
“Having Inventus Power join us to launch the NAV 4e allowed Kawasaki dealers and media to receive an in-depth understanding of the lithium-ion performance that comes equipped in the NAV 4e LE and Limited models,” said Odeon Dy, Director, Corporate Strategic Planning at Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. “Kawasaki’s partnership with Inventus Power shows our dedication to bringing industry-leading technology into this new category.”
