The Smartstream G2.0 GDi HEV is an inline 4-cylinder engine with GDi and 14.0:1 compression ratio; the gasoline engine makes 152 PS (150 hp; 112 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 19.2 kg⋅m (139 lb⋅ft; 188 N⋅m) of torque at 5,000 rpm.
Used for idling when the battery state of charge (SOC) is high. Cruise mode—The vehicle is cruising (i.e. not accelerating), and the ICE can meet the demand. The power from the engine is split between the mechanical path and the generator. The battery also powers the motor, whose power is summed mechanically with the engine.
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 hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle that couples a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) with one or more electric engines into a combined propulsion system. The presence of the electric powertrain , which has inherently better energy conversion efficiency , is intended to achieve either better fuel economy or ...
Mild hybrids (MHEV) (also known as smart hybrids, power-assist hybrids, battery-assisted hybrid vehicles or BAHVs) are generally cars with an internal combustion engine (ICE) equipped with a minimally extended battery and an auxiliary electric combined motor and generator in a parallel hybrid configuration that is only enough for an electric-only mode of propulsion at slow speed and allows the ...
Comparison of EPA-rated range for electric cars rated up until July 2017 and priced under US$50,000 in the U.S. Only model year 2016 and 2017 cars are included. [39] [40] Charging time is rated at 4 hours on a 6.6 kW AC charger. [41] Using a DC fast charging station, the battery can be restored to 80% state of charge in approximately half an ...
The incremental battery cost of large-battery plug-in hybrids is difficult to justify based on the incremental savings of PHEVs' operating costs unless a subsidy is offered for large-battery PHEVs. When the price of gasoline increases from US$4 per gallon to US$5 per gallon, the number of drivers who benefit from a larger battery increases ...
