The average cost to trial participants for recharging at home is between 25p and £1 (US$0.40 The data analyzed by Aston University combines and compares the behavior patterns of 25 Mitsubishi i-MiEV drivers over two consecutive quarters. The low cost of ‘refuelling’ in relatively short periods of time reinforce this.

In a switched reluctance motor (SRM), torque is produced by the magnetic attraction of a steel rotor to stator electromagnets; there are no permanent magnets, and the rotor carries no windings. With suitable timing of the stator excitation, the machine can operate as a motor or generator. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).

The project is being led by Jaguar Land Rover. Other consortium members include Ford, IAV, BP, University of Nottingham and Imperial College London. This compensates for turbo lag and is more cost-effective than integrating a 25 kW electric motor into the powertrain since only a 12-volt system is required, CPT notes.

The switched reluctance (SR) motor-based SpeedStart and TIGERS technology are being incorporated into the recently announced Advanced Diesel Electric Powertrain project known as ADEPT. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components. Earlier post.)
