THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

NEW 2016 ELECTRIC CAR MODELS

High Performance Electric Vehicle Systems (HPEVS)

designs, develops and manufactures 3-phase AC
induction drive systems for an array of vehicles and
industries. These systems have been integrated into
full-sized vehicles, neighborhood electric vehicles,
ground support equipment, golf carts, motorcycles,
industrial/utility vehicles and even amusement park
attractions. These systems are designed to achieve
maximum distance, power and efficiency.

BMW i8

BMW i8 overview

The central part of the i8 is a new architecture called

LifeDrive that was inaugurated by the all-electric i3
city car. Crafted out of aluminum, the Drive module
includes the gas-burning engine, the electric motor,
the lithium-ion battery pack and all of the car's
electronic components. The Life module is built out
of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and mainly
consists of the 2+2 passenger compartment.

BMW i8 power efficiency

Power comes from a hybrid

drivetrain consisting of a
231-horsepower
turbocharged 1.5-liter threecylinder
engine
located
behind the seats and a 131horsepower electric motor
mounted on the front axle.
The
gas-burning
engine
sends power to the rear
wheels via a six-speed
automatic transmission.

Rated at a combined 362

horsepower and 420 lb-ft.
of torque, the plug-in
hybrid drivetrain propels
the i8 from zero to 62 mph
in 4.4 seconds and on to a
top speed of 155 mph.
The i8 returns 94 mpg in
mixed driving and boasts
a total driving range of
310 miles in "everyday
conditions."

Alternatively, the i8 can

operate
on
electricity
alone for up to 22 miles at
speeds of up to 75 mph by
drawing power from a
liquid-cooled
5-kWh
lithium-ion battery pack
mounted beneath the floor.
Recharging the pack takes
3.5 hours with a 110-volt
outlet or 1.5 hours with a
220-volt Level 2 charger.

as a "layering" approach with

A digital screen takes the

place of traditional analogue
gauges in the instrument
cluster. It provides hybrid
powertrain info with a variety
of different readouts that
vary depending on which
drive mode is selected.

A 8.8-inch screen mounted on top of the center stack runs BMW's iDrive
infotainment system. The driver can control the car's navigation,
entertainment, connectivity and climate control functions by using a knob
located on the center console.

80% of the maximum charge level

words: in approximately 4 minutes
loading time the range increases

A bold claim, but if the production Mission E lives up
to the considerable promise of the Frankfurt
concept, potentially a justified one. That car made
over 600bhp from an electric motor on each of its
axles (so its four-wheel drive), with Porsche
promising a 0-62mph time below 3.5 seconds, and a
range north of 300miles.
