Cadillac unveiled the anticipated 2014 ELR extendedrange electric (EREV) vehicle (based on the Converj concept, earlier post ) at the North American International Auto Show. The full driving range exceeds 300 miles (480 km). (By By comparison, the Volt offers 38 miles of electric driving, and a full range of 382 miles (615 km).
The instrumentation developed must be able to support a transient voltage of 1,500 V in comparison to the vehicle reference, whereas the normal operating voltage of fuel cells is 300 V and its current 200 amperes. One of the important constraints to observe for such equipment concerns electrical insulation.
As a comparison, the Nissan LEAF is EPA-certified at 99 MPGe combined, 106 MPGe city and 92 MPGe highway. Faster charging with 240 volts also can extendrange as drivers can more quickly recharge between stops—up to 20 miles per charge hour. Consumption is 34 kWh/100 miles, combined cycle.
By comparison, the Nissan LEAF carries a 99 MPGe (combined) EPA rating, while the smaller i-MiEV carries a 112 MPGe (combined) rating. (1 1 gallon of gasoline=33.7 A limited number of Focus Electrics will first be available in California and the New York/New Jersey areas. Projected energy cost savings are approximately $160,000 per year.
A sample of the second proposed label for an extendedrange electric vehicle. The second proposed label retains the current label’s focus on miles per gallon (MPG) and annual fuel costs, while updating the overall design and adding the required new comparison information on fuel economy and emissions.

As a comparison, the new Chevrolet Spark EV uses a 100 kW motor with 542 N·m of torque. The powertrain system features an advanced battery liquid cooling system, an innovative motor efficiency optimizer, a rechargeable energy storage system mated to a low gear design, and low-rolling resistance tires. Earlier post.).
Camry hybrid) PHEV with a 4 kWh and an 8 kWh pack; and a series hybrid (extended-range electric vehicle, e.g., Volt) with a 12 kWh and a 16 kWh pack. To maximize charge depletion, the engine only provides the requested wheel power without recharging the battery. Optimum engine power strategy. L/100km (35.6 Hybrid (HEV): 4.69
The Route extendedrange electric powertrains incorporate a range-extending genset designed to recharge the high-power battery pack (currently from A123 Systems) and Wrightspeed’s own geared traction drive (GTD) ( earlier post ). Weighing in at 250 lbs (113.4 The 65 kW Capstone unit weighs 300 lbs (136.1
It says the new electric semi’s driveline technology, the e-axle, is what makes the extendedrange possible since it creates space for a lot more battery capacity onboard. For comparison, Volvo Truck’s FH Electric , currently on the market, holds up to six battery packs for up to 540 kWh of power.
Electrify America’s charging network were the backbone of our trip Cost Comparison We charged 412.23 Range and Charging Our Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD was equipped with the 91 kWh of usable charge extendedrange battery. miles per kWh. kWh over the 1,796-mile trip at an estimated retail cost of $203. Efficiency: 2.8
This differs by comparison to some of its competitors, which use multiple motors for all-wheel-drive. The all-wheel drive layout channels a 342kW and 830Nm outputs of a 75.7kWh lithium-ion battery (a 98.8kWh extended driving range battery is available). Volvo XC40 Recharge. Ford Mustang Mach E. Mazda MX-30.
Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. The PHEV does not suffer from the “range anxiety” that limits other electrically-powered vehicles. 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. Conclusions. slow charge.
The BYD Atto 3 comes as two models; Standard and Extendedrange. By comparison the MG ZS EV starts at $44,990 drive-away and the Nissan Leaf $50,990 plus on-road costs. The Atto 3 Standard is fitted with a 49.92kWh battery pack that ekes out a claimed 345km range between recharges based on the WLTP testing regime.
Hit the jump for a comparison that includes plenty of pics and video. Please feel free to tell us what you believe to be the benefits of some of the various recharging modes mentioned above in the comments section below. For extendedrange I guess one could carry a fairly modest generator set in the trunk to avoid ever being stranded.
