Volvo Electric Car ReCharge Concept hybrid In-Wheel Motor EV

SUBSCRIBE to stay current on EV news ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ electric-vehicles-cars-bikes.blogspot.com Volvo Electric Car recharge Concept hybrid In-Wheel Motor EV Only about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and drive line inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $2.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms. Volvo recharge Concept hybrid EV with 4 wheel motors Electric Car vehicle. Electric motors are rated for 100000 hours or 6 MILLION Kms before they need servicing.

    Yeah – this is the way to go. That overnight charging crap they’re talking about is bullshit. You need to keep the car charged on the fly so it can keep going. I was thinking of a gas powered charging system that doesn’t power the car – it just shifts between two sets of fast charge batteries to keep it going. But this probably works out just as good. Now all we have to do is get past the elite and their oil company pals. From what I’ve heard, they’re gonna drag this out for a long time.

    I know who he is, heard a lot about him, but he doesn’t get the credit from it as they got rid of him so I heard.
    He is an ordinary hard working guy from UK

    See Tesla’s writting on this very subject… search tfcbooks on google and use the link /tesla/1904-12-29.htm … Tesla couldn’t understand why we are not using the internal combustion engine for the purpose of electric generator instead of for drive the vehicle itself.

    I wonder whos patent is this, because is the best desing, but nobody is doing, my guess is because of patent rights. (some oil sheik might be the owner) imo.

    Tesla as been explaining this concept in the early 1900 (instead of using fuel to move the car, to actually generate electricity from it). I can’t believe how long it took before we start using this technology. I can’t believe either we are not yet utilizing this yet.

    you could always have a solar panel on the top of the car for extra charge time while sitting in traffic. i know i wont fully recharge the battery but it will help

    It is fine but still crappy. The 4 electromotors still have to pull the death weaght of the gas engine.

    then again the power of the gas engine is converted in electricity and conversion means losses! maybe the gas engine should be connected to the wheels as well while driving on gas and recharging batteries

    it s just nearly to 100% electric car… the next near future i think there will be…. hope so… but traffic prblm still cant be solved

    yeah these cars can really haul. i want one.or a conversion kit would be cool too

    here we go this is the way to go why waste, the turning of the wheels. Finally
    someone is taking it seriorsly.

    The GM Volt, by law, carries a 10 year / 150,000 mile warranty … including the Li-Ion battery … Even after 3000 cycles the pack will still have 80% DOC (Depth of charge) meaning there is plenty of life left in it.

    By comparison most ICE powered cars are wrecks by 10 years because the engine/g’box simply wear out from heat stress.

    I’m fairly certain replacement packs will be substantially cheaper in a decade from now.

    I’m also annoyed companies are switching to lithium batteries. They sound better, but they age, and there is nothing you can do about it save buy new batteries. People buying their brand new electric car will have no idea they will have to buy thousands of dollars worth of batteries in 5 years time.
    Lithium has some advantages, but they TERRIBLE for sustainability. (Not to mention future cost.)

    I’m a bit annoyed with all these hybrid cars. They seem to be stalling tactics to keep people using gas. There’s really no reason 100% electric cars shouldn’t be selling right now. People have built hobby cars for less than 10K. There’s no need for oil or transmission systems, putting upkeep even lower. And they will get 90% of workers to work and back all week long before worrying about a recharge. And these are hobby cars!

    The Siemens design seems to be the better option for any electric car. Why is this design not a part of the chevy volt. It would appear to be the perfect car with this design. The car would not need a heavy drive train, mechanical steering, etc. The real question is a company going to making an electric car with this design??? I would buy it if they keep the price right and have the on board recharge engine.

    Finally, a hybrid made the way they should be. A gas engine (powerplant) should be used only as a geared generator, as they only have certain distinct torque bands, unlike electronic motors. This is a very good idea, hope it works out, and volvo doesn’t try to sell it for 40k. :)

    Electric cars are here to stay!
    It may take just a few years to get used to them but after that the internal combustion engine seems medieval.
    I can’t wait to buy my first 100% electric car!

    I think electric cars are like the light bulb in comparison to the oil lamp -

    If we still had to burn oil in lamps – how much oil would we need –

    Similarly converting the energy into electric – and storing it in a chemical form in the battery – is far more efficient than burning the oil directly to power the car.

    And these electric cars are powerful – see video of race between Ferrari and an electric car

    We should have 4 wheel drives/ SUV – in hybrids – whatever we want.

    It’s funny that you will be able to drive further when an internal combustion engine generates power for an electric motor than when the internal combustion engine drives the wheels itself. Tells you how inefficient combustion engines are.

    New cars are covered by a manufacturers warranty by law… therefore it must be as durable as any ICE car.

    i love this charging, but the question how long will the battery last, how many recharges it can take? what care is need for the batery operation ?
