Nissan Leaf cutaway showing part of the battery in 2009. An electric vehicle battery is a rechargeable battery used to power the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). They are typically lithium-ion batteries that are designed for high power-to-weight ratio and energy density.
A prototype AC Propulsion tzero electric car with an external range-extender or genset trailer, 1999. A range extender is a fuel-based auxiliary power unit (APU) that extends the range of a battery electric vehicle by driving an electric generator that charges the vehicle's battery.
The Headway 38120HP cells are used in high-discharge environments as they have very good continuous/peak discharge rates (10C/25C). Because four cells in series produces a voltage range similar to 6 cells of lead-acids and their fire-resistant properties, they can be used to replace a 12 V lead-acid car battery.

The e2 and e3 both come with two battery options: a 35.2 kWh model with a range of up to 305 km (190 miles) NEDC, and a 47.3 kWh model with a range of up to 405 km (252 miles) NEDC. AC normal charging takes 1.5 hours with the 35.2 kWh battery pack and 1.6 hours with the 47.3 kWh battery pack, while DC fast charging from 30 to 80% can be done in ...
It was surpassed by the 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Electric in November 2016. [37] (4) The i3 REx has a combined fuel economy in all-electric mode of 117 mpg-e (29 kW·h/100 mi; 18 kW⋅h/100 km). [38] (5) The 2016 model year Leaf correspond to the variant with the 24 kW·h battery pack. (6) Ratings correspond to both convertible and coupe models.
A battery electric vehicle (BEV), pure electric vehicle, only-electric vehicle, fully electric vehicle or all-electric vehicle is a type of electric vehicle (EV) that uses electrical energy exclusively from an on-board battery pack to power one or more electric traction motors, on which the vehicle solely relies for propulsion.
For the most part, though, no battery-powered vehicle matches the range of a hybrid ride, which combines an internal combustion engine with an electric motor for more efficient fuel economy, fewer ...
AMP Electric acquired Workhorse from Navistar in March 2013 for US$5 million [2] [3] and unveiled the E-GEN drivetrain for the Workhorse W-88 Class 5 truck chassis in early 2014; [4] [5] the E-GEN was a plug-in series hybrid that used a 200 kW (270 hp) "Sumo" traction motor/generator provided by tm4 Electrodynamic Systems, drawing from a battery with a gross capacity of 60 kW-hr.
