Toyota EQ, Toyota Electric Car Technology

2014-08-25T11:38:00.004+08:00

Toyota EQ, Toyota Electric Car Technology - At the end of 1890, an electric car with a gasoline car sales beat ratio of 10: 1. After the production of gasoline cars dominate the market in the 1910s, the electric car slowly faded charm. The main problem lies in the electric car battery saving capability incomplete electrical power to drive the electric motor. Finally, after the second world war electric cars become extinct from the realm of mass production. However, the dream to make an electric car is never extinct. Moreover, manufacturers have managed to produce lithium-ion batteries are more durable.

For Toyota, a breakthrough in the field of battery technology is not enough to make them interested in mass-produced electric car. The distance cruising into the main calculation Toyota.

But that does not mean the dream of making electric cars Toyota stop there. They were invited to Japan to test Autocar electric car called the Toyota in eq. Unlike the current Nissan Motor Company launched Nissan Leaf (type cruiser / cruising), Toyota EQ reserved only for mobility in the city. That's why Toyota EQ made of base Toyota iQ. As for distance cruising farther given the car a hybrid or plug-in hybrid.

Based iQ (kei car with four seats), the differences appear all over its exterior. There does not appear again typical lattice grille iQ. This is due to the absence of a radiator or an internal combustion engine that requires air flow. In addition, the absence of air holes aimed to attenuate wind resistance so as not to overload the electric motor Toyota iQ is only a capacity of 12 kWh.

Penetrated into the cabin. Toyota EQ looks like the Toyota iQ. Two semi-bucket leather seats seemed available for the front passenger. The second row seat looks small so it is not suitable for adults. Dashboard still having a certain equal to the iQ, the real difference is in the instrument panel. There is no tachometer because it no longer uses a gasoline engine. Looks speedometer with a maximum rate of 140 km / h, battery indicator, maximum mileage, temperature information, and the transmission position. In his left hand information on the conditions of electric motors and batteries.

Yes, thumping torque of 163 Nm can be harvested at 0 rpm is quite surprising, although the strength is only 47 kW. Acceleration 0-100 km / h can be achieved within 14 seconds. Can not be said to be bad for a city car. Toyota EQ will keep going without stopping until it reaches a top speed of 125 km / h.

Dimension 3,115 x 1,680 x 1,535 mm (LxWxH), Toyota EQ so agile maneuvering. Steering response is also good. No different flavors with the Toyota iQ which we have tested 2009 ago. If we compare with the Nissan Leaf, the iQ feels more agile in corners.

Unfortunately, still like other electric cars, the problem of battery life remains a scourge. Imagine, you have to be willing to wait the charging batteries for 3 hours until he could be reused. Or 15 minutes if using rapid charging (80% capacity). - Toyota EQ, Toyota Electric Car Technology

Every August, the rich classic car enthusiasts gather to show off their favorite and become a means to show some new models.

An electric vehicle start-up company in San Francisco, Renovo Motors unveiled its first car, but there is the impression of the look-era relic in the design of the 21st century.

The shape is familiar to any fan of Shelby, but powered electricity, not gasoline engines.

Four years ago, Silicon Valley veterans was establish Renovo Motors and said it plans to start building a copy of this Coupe car early next year.

It is based on the chassis Shelby Daytona Cobra was built by the late Carroll Shelby in 1965.

The car was built for racing, and in particular to overtake the Ferrari on the track.

Though the new design was in fact previously familiar model, there is one fundamental difference, no exhaust pipe!

The biggest hurdle for electric sports car comes from the weight of the battery and the time it takes to recharge.

Renovo says it has dealt well with the challenge of using lithium-ion battery that allows weight to be reduced to produce the best performance. Renovo also claim the electric car can be recharged in just over half an hour.

In terms of performance, Renovo said the twin electric motors propel the car to 60 mph (96.5 km / h) in 3.4 seconds, although a range of only 100 miles (150 km).

The model will begin production in 2015 at a price of 529,000 dollars. - Electric Car with Classic Sport Style

Electric Cars Could Be Solution Transport in Remote Areas of Australia - Transportation costs continue to rise in the corners of Australia. One solution being considered for this problem is the use of electric cars.

It was delivered by the Cooperative Research Centre for Economic Participation in the corners of Regions.

The new research center to renew the research on the challenges of transportation in the country, in cooperation with Ninti One, the agency that helps Australian population living in remote areas.

In the report, it was found that the cost of transportation in remote areas two or three times more expensive than the other regions, mainly due to the price of petrol and diesel are higher.

Means, the level of car ownership in remote areas of Australia are lower than in the cities, and this might be entailed the practice of 'car pooling' aka sharing cars and fuel costs. This practice is often considered environmentally friendly practices.

However, in January Ferguson, managing director of Ninti One, said that the issue of transportation difficulties remain to be addressed. The solution could be costly, such as paved roads, but there are also other options.

Indeed, new infrastructure investments need to recharge electric cars, said Ferguson, but on the other hand. According to his research, there are 18 percent of the population who can not travel frequently due to lack of means of transportation. - Electric Cars Could Be Solution Transport in Remote Areas of Australia

Added Peroxide, New Potions Electric Car Batteries - While many automotive manufacturers are looking for ways to conserve energy usage and begin to introduce the electric car, battery material issue is still a big problem, as I explained in the article disadvantages of electric cars. Because unlimited mileage and also the length of time to recharge the batteries sometimes be a problem in itself.

Nikkei Technology as Industry Analyst and Technology of Japan, began to advance the new technology that made their application. That adds Peroxide on herb-type Li-ion battery.

Although still in the stage of intensive development, but the addition of peroxide is claimed to make the battery more durable 7 times better, even when a refill.

The way it works is quite simple. Of exposure to a given company, the function Peroxide substance is added to the battery material, can reduce the oxidation process. Claimed to be even better than Li-ion batteries.

Battery development team headed by Noritaka Mizuno said that the capacity of the energy density that can be accommodated is still below the density of Li-ion battery the latest type. But the power delivery is more stable and secure.

Likewise, when doing power charging, will not create a new compound that could be detrimental to the battery.

The Disadvantages of Electric Cars

2014-08-14T06:50:00.002+08:00

The Disadvantages of Electric Cars - The electric car is a vehicle that has now become part of the history of the vehicle in the world. After the previous article I wrote about the advantages of electric car, now I will write some disadvantages of electric cars. Every no advantage there must be a loss. That is the loss of a great case why the electric car is still rarely used though many people in the world. Therefore, the following is a disadvantage the electric car:

- Electric car battery prices are still high, more than $ 10000 Batteries are expensive is still the main reason behind the high price of an electric car as a whole.

- The fact that the electric car do not sound when life is not always an advantage because of the quietness of the sound of a car can pose a danger to blind, elderly and children.

- Type of electric cars is still limited and also recharge is significantly longer than the relatively fast process on refueling the tank to the traditional car.

- There is also the problem of heating. Electric cars are used in colder climates require a lot of energy to heat the interior and defrost the windows. On vehicles that use the fuel, the combustion process has been transferring heat from the engine, while the electric car heater requires extra energy from the car battery.

That is some reason for the loss the electric car. Nevertheless, it is clear that the advantages of electric cars over many disadvantages compared to the electric car, if in associate with everyday life. - The Disadvantages of Electric Cars

Electric Sports Car : E-tron is Electric and Hybrid Vehicle from German - E-tron or Audi is a product brand with which the car manufacturer, its new developments in the field of electric and hybrid electric vehicles since 2009.

Brand History

In 1989, Audi has developed a first vehicle with electric drive, the hybrid vehicle Audi 100 duo. This, however, remained at first without successor. 20 years later, when the electric mobility increasingly moved into the public interest, the plans for electric cars were revived also at Audi.

First, the term e-tron was used only for concept vehicles, the decision to use the term in the series and to establish itself as a brand later fell -. Quattro similar as before for the all-wheel drive Technically, the vehicles so designated except the using an electric motor drive in any form is little in common. Already in the details of the drive concept, they differ considerably; the range of types of vehicles ranging from small cars to super sports cars.

Specifically, Audi has presented or announced the following vehicles under the name e-tron:

Concept Vehicles

a. Audi e-tron "Frankfurt": one in 2009 at the IAA in Frankfurt imagined as a show car high-performance sports car; a pure electric car with four Einzelradmotoren

b. Audi e-tron "Detroit": one presented in 2010 at the NAIAS in Detroit, slightly modified version of the Frankfurt show car; Drive concept similar to Frankfurt, but only driven rear wheels and slightly less power

c.Audi e-tron Spyder: one on the Paris Motor Show 2010 presented, based on the Detroit showcar version as a convertible; Drive a hybrid of electric motor and diesel direct injection (TDI)

d.Audi A3 e-tron Concept: variant of the Audi A3, presented at the Auto Shanghai 2011 as a concept study; Hybrid propulsion electric motor and TFSI engine

e. Audi A2 e-tron: concept car a new Audi A2, should be loud announcement go into production in 2013, initially only with pure electric drive, possibly later variant as a plug-in hybrid As part of the termination of the project of a new A2 A2 e-tron will probably have no chance on a series production.

Announcements

a. Audi A3 e-tron: At the IAA 2013, the production version of the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron was presented with plug-in hybrid. It should go in the second half of 2014 in series.

b. Audi R8 e-tron: Electric version of the Audi R8 with pure electric drive (two electric motors with a total of 280 kW / 381 PS and 820 Nm of torque), should loudly announcing the end of 2012 to go into series . in November 2012 Audi withdrew the launch for this car and gave no new date. It was explained to the first successes for cost reasons. one could read in the automotive press that the range of 215 km was considered too low later.

c. Audi A1 e-tron: the hybrid version of the Audi A1; should go into production, according to announcement in 2013 or end of 2012; Electric drive, but with Wankel engine as extended range, pilot from March 2011 with 20 vehicles. - Electric Sports Car : E-tron is Electric and Hybrid Vehicle from German

Electric Sports Car : AC Propulsion tzero is a Motor Vehicle with Electric Drive

Electric Sports Car : AC Propulsion tzero is a Motor Vehicle with Electric Drive - AC Propulsion tzero is a motor vehicle with electric drive, which was built by the American company AC Propulsion as a development platform. Three copies were made by hand and sold to two individuals after the plan to build the vehicle in series was abandoned in 2003. The developed drive concept was licensed from AC Propulsion for the Tesla Roadster.

The vehicle went into technical demonstrations against numerous sports car with an internal combustion engine in order to show the superiority of electric cars and the drives of AC Propulsion, z. B. against the Corvette C4.

The frame consists of a steel frame, the body is a glass fiber body. It is powered by an AC-150 (three-phase asynchronous motor). The car has no gearshift. With a fixed reduction ratio of 9: 1, it reaches speeds of about 160 km / h (100 mph).

Energy supply

Depending on the battery pack with which it is equipped, the car has a range of up to 250 km. In the basic version with lead-acid batteries can drive with fully charged batteries, approximately 160 km. Alternatively, a trailer has been offered by the manufacturer on which a Kawasaki 500-cc engine, coupled with a 20-kW generator is stowed. With this it is possible to drive long distances on the highway. The fuel consumption is then approximately at 6.7 to 7.8 l / 100 km (35-30 mpg).

Regenerative brakes

The AC Propulsion tzero has a regenerative brake. As soon as the driver takes his foot off the accelerator pedal, the car starts to slow down slightly, where it converts the kinetic energy of the car into electricity and thus is charging the batteries again. The induction motor is therefore simply used as a generator. Except for possible emergency braking, the Tzero can therefore be driven using the accelerator pedal. In city traffic, so the range of the tzero increased by up to 30%.

Performance

Due to the non-existing gears, but especially by the insufficient motor continuous power the maximum speed of the tzero is limited. Due to its light weight and the short-term up to 147 kW motor, the torque is available from the first turn to without a clutch and manual transmission, the car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph (approximately 0 to 96 km / h) in only 4.07 second. - Electric Sports Car : AC Propulsion tzero is a Motor Vehicle with Electric Drive

Electric Sports Car : Porsche 918 Spyder Faster Than a Ferrari?

Electric Sports Car : Porsche 918 Spyder Faster Than a Ferrari. Porsche 918 Spyder is not only faster than a Ferrari sports car. This electric hybrid car, it is also more economical than the Toyota Prius. It was possible thanks to the combination of 608 hp V8 gasoline engine and two electric motors that drive the front and rear wheels with a total power 286 hp.

Porsche claims that the 918 Spyder is the fastest road car lap record evidenced by a record 6 minutes 57 seconds at the Nurburgring circuit Nordsschleife, Germany, September 4, 2013 Performance The Porsche 918 Spyder proves potential as a future sports car. Although without the help of a V8 engine, the electric motor alone can push the car to accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 6.2 seconds. The combination of these two types of machines can make the car accelerate from start to 100 km / h in 2.6 seconds.

As a hybrid car, this car will compete with LaFerrari, Mercedes SLS AMG Coupe electric drive, and the McLaren P1. Despite losing power and heavier than its rivals, Ferrari and McLaren LaFerrari P1, convinced Porsche 918 Spyder is much faster than the two cars that have more power than the 900 hp.

Porsche product manager James Eastwood said, although heavier 918 Spyder, the technology used to make the car go faster on the road or track.

Not only fast, Porsche 918 Spyder is also environmentally friendly. Porsche claims the 918 Spyder can cover the distance of 100 kilometers with just 3.1 liters of fuel and can travel a distance of 16-32 kilometers only with battery power.

Porsche does not invest in this cutting-edge technology simply to show off the "green" car. Fuel efficiency is a matter of life and death for a high-performance car makers, due to EU regulations forcing car manufacturers to make cars more energy efficient. If you do not comply, they are threatened with bankruptcy. European target, in 2015, the car fuel efficiency 5,5liter / 100 kilometers and approaches 3.9 liters / 100 kilometers in 2021.

Porsche deploy various advanced tricks to save fuel and make safe driving a vehicle. Porsche 918 Spyder, for example, has a carbon fiber body that is lightweight but strong. The car also has a rear-wheel drive and a computer to keep the use of fuel efficient as possible, and prevent the driver lost control. - Electric Sports Car : Porsche 918 Spyder Faster Than a Ferrari
