The high efficiency of the Porsche 919 Hybrid is the result of a balanced overall concept. The electric energy is then stored in water-cooled lithium-ion battery packs from A123 Systems ( earlier post ) and when the driver needs the stored power, the front motor drives the two front wheels through a differential during acceleration.

The chief feature of the concept lies in the clutch casing which houses a permanent magnet electric motor (axial flux discoid motor in the case of the prototype). One of the concept’s major innovations is the fact that gearshifts do not necessitate the use of a clutch thanks to a specific control unit designed by Renault’s engineers.

Gasoline/diesel fueling stations to replenish the liquid fuel for these engines are readily available. Its potential as an electric energy storage facility means the PHEV can be used to even-out the vast energy inefficiency of the current grid, as well as to store intermittent solar and wind energy, a process which we will soon explain.
