Ultium vehicles are powered by a modular family of five drive units and three electric traction motors, known collectively as "Ultium Drive". [5] Mass production of Ultium Drive motors and units is scheduled to start in 2024 at the GM Toledo [12] [13] and St. Catharines propulsion factories.
As realized in the 2007 Volt concept, the initial E-Flex design includes an electric traction motor with peak power and torque outputs of 120 kW (160 hp) and 320 N⋅m (240 lbf⋅ft), a 1 L 3-cylinder gasoline engine coupled to a generator with an output of 53 kW (71 hp), and a 16 kWh (58 MJ) lithium-ion battery energy storage system.
These vehicles are propelled by at least one electric motor. [1] [2] Good example is an electric locomotive that is drawing power directly from overhead wire or third rail.. "Electric vehicle" is often cleverly interchanged with "Electrified vehicle" [3] which doesn't specify what kind of powertrain vehicle actually h
As a person breathes, the body consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. Base metabolism requires about 0.25 L/min of oxygen from a breathing rate of about 6 L/min, and a fit person working hard may ventilate at a rate of 95 L/min but will only metabolise about 4 L/min of oxygen [10] The oxygen metabolised is generally about 4% to 5% of the inspired volume at normal atmospheric pressure, or ...
The Ridek III body and chassis can be separated to change body styles or to put the same body on a chassis with fully charged batteries. The world's first road-licensed quick-change modular electric vehicle, based on a patent awarded to Dr Gordon E Dower in 2000, [1] was shown at the World Electric Vehicle Association 2003 Electric Vehicle Symposium EVS-20 in Long Beach, California, USA.
A parking area with an overhead electrical net was in use at Seoul Grand Park Zoo in South Korea, to recharge electric vehicles [citation needed], This was similar to a fairground bumper car arrangement which allowed vehicle batteries to be recharged, prior to introduction of the more modern OLEV Online Electric Vehicle system.
The RBS is a key mechanism for electric vehicles to obtain braking energy. This technology seriously affects the economy, emissions, safety and other functions of electric vehicles. By improving the RBS, the kinetic energy recovery rate of the vehicle can be significantly increased, and the driving stability of the vehicle can be improved. [61]
Motor vehicle type approval is the method by which motor vehicles, vehicle trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles achieve type approval in the European Union (EU) or in other UN-ECE member states. There is no EU approval body: authorized approval bodies of member states are responsible for type ...
