Audi R18 e-tron quattro: diesel hybrid Le Mans racer with electric flywheel energy storage

Green Car Congress

One vehicle axle (rear) is powered conventionally, the second (front) by two water-cooled 75 kW motors with integrated power electronics. On the Audi R18 e-tron quattro, kinetic energy is recovered on the front axle during the braking phase. In the process, the wheels drive the MGU.

Altran and Quimera to present All Electric GT prototype at Frankfurt

Green Car Congress

Featuring three UQM motors developing a combined 700 bhp (522 kW), the AEGT has a top speed currently limited to 300 km/h (186 mph). The monocoque chassis is made entirely of carbon fiber to make it lighter and more rigid.

seconds, and from 60 to 120 km/h (37 – 75 mph) in 4.1 The battery system is water-cooled. A needs-based energy management system controls all functions for the chassis, convenience equipment and other auxiliary consumers. The energy storage unit is charged with household current (230 volts, 16 amperes) via a cable and a plug.

Extreme E tackles tough terrain, promotes sustainable racing

Charged EVs

The car goes from 0-62 mph in 4.5 It is not an energy race, and braking isn’t huge due to poor grip in most of the conditions we’ll encounter, hence there’s very little energy to recover compared to Formula E,” Pierre Prunin told Charged. “It The front and rear motors are traditionally cooled with water.”.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

These energy transfer systems are already everywhere in the country. Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel. These variations must be managed by adding a great deal of electric energy storage in order to work on a mass scale.
