The inverter converts alternating current to direct current when charging the vehicle and back the other way when sending power into the grid. Their initial idea was that garaged vehicles would have a two-way computer-controlled connection to the electric grid, which could receive power from the vehicle as well as provide power to it.

There is no mechanical connection between the front and rear axles; as an e quattro, the A7 Sportback h-tron quattro features fully electronic management of torque distribution. The tanks can store around five kilograms of hydrogen at a pressure of 700 bar—enough to drive more than 500 kilometers (310.7 liters (1.0

Commercial aviation is the connective tissue of the modern world. Its fuel stores about 43 megajoules of energy per kilogram, and a current-model engine can convert that stored energy into thrust with an efficiency of around 40 percent. It also converts AC back to DC, in order to store electrical energy in the battery.

Transitioning our transportation infrastructure to a fully electric model is an urgent task. Yet it places unprecedented demand on our electrical grid. Just to drive 100 miles, the average electric vehicle (EV) uses the same amount of electricity that it takes to power a typical U.S. home for a day.

One example is a P2 high-voltage hybrid module with an integrated torque converter (iTC). Schaeffler is also developing a two-speed electric axle (P4) for hybrid and fully electric vehicles. The electric axle therefore allows a constant speed to be maintained. Click to enlarge. Digitalization. —Gerhard Baum.

announced details of the e-Golf, its first fully electric vehicle to go on sale in the US, prior to its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. During the process the power electronics module converts the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC). Connectivity. Click to enlarge.

The power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC). Meanwhile, a DC/DC converter supplies the onboard electronics with 12-volt power. This know-how has been used in the past few years for fully electric models (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), including the e-up!

The exhaust gas and compressor turbines are separated from one another and located at an optimum position to the exhaust side and to the intake side of the V6 engine, and connected to one another by a shaft. Two more 120 kW electric motors are at the front axle. Each is connected to a front wheel via a reduction gear.

It also integrates the DC converter that supplies the 12 V electrical system from the high-voltage system. The on-board charging units convert alternating current into the direct current required by the traction battery. Audi distinguishes between two basic types of lithium-ion battery. kW is used for direct charging.
