Electric carsWhat do we learn from these cars?

performance is not an issue (except range)

electric motors do not constrain vehicle design

no conventional design

market niches

energy storage is the main problem

charging is a constrain

several technical solutions for charging (including

range extenders and battery replacement)

30


Electric carsHow to improve?

energy storage•better batteries• supercapacitors

intensive regenerative braking

energy control•efficient control of load •efficient charging• system capable of absorbing extreme power (regenerative braking)

31


Electric carsHow to improve?

“in vehicle” energy production (extended range, fuel cells)•high efficient ICE • cheap fuel cells runing on liquid fuel

weight• lighter energy storage devices• lighter construction (materials, manufacturing processes)•energy storage vs in vehicle energy production

powertrain design solutions•motors with capability for extreme power (regenerative braking)•motor-in-wheel units

32


Electric carsWhat are the challenges?

batteries with better power density than supercapacitors

supercapacitors with better energy storage than batteries

minimizing recharging time without straining the grid

very efficient “in vehicle” energy production

powertrain moving parts exclusively within the wheels

compact, efficient, powerfull and resistant motor-in-

wheels

eco-friendly materials intensive use

body and frame design
