Electric Car Wheel Motor System EXPLAINED Mitsubishi MiEV

Mitsubishi MiEV Electric Car Wheel Motor Concept

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.

if you want to invest in anything invest in lithium-ion batterires ... cars come and go but these batteries will change the world!!!

[blastergti]

Agreeing. Now In just one year, the situation of the world has changed a lot! GM is almost on the way out, gas prices are raising again, Tesla's Model S is introduced, Aptera starts their production this autumn...etc =) Tesla has kept their nose clean, model S is beautiful!

These upcoming year(s) will be interesting, it's a make-or-break for the bigger car manufacturers over the world!

gee no drive shaft those things will kill anything with the weight saved I would imagine those electric motors per wheel could generate alot of speed

[despredicaciones]

A couple of models of them together, Will have a interference problems?

@ingaman Yeah right, but driving them around in a vehicle that contains highly flammable fuel (Gigajoule worth of energy - 10x as much as any EV) hanging under the car in a thin plastic tank is perfectly safe!! LOL

[ingaman]

@terileeisme Until they start blowing up on rear-end collisions. I'm all for new and fuel efficient technology, but if anything needs more research, it's the batteries that power them. Li-ion batteries are far better than anything else used, but not nearly safe enough for me to be comfortable driving my family on the highway with.

@TheReasonWhyGuy Lucky you!! As more EVs get onto the road the more positive word-of-mouth, such as yours, about the cost savings will spread. Only a mater of time before it reaches critical mass.

@tsport100 We got the nissan leaf about a month ago.

[tsport100]

@TheReasonWhyGuy I'm envious! Which EV do you drive?

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@tsport100 Exactly.

On top of those reasons, having electric allows for our power supply for EVERYTHING, to be changed over to renewables.

I love my electric car, and it's one of those things that after not going to a gas station for about a month, you wonder how you ever tolerated those places.

In cost alone we save about 300bucks a month, including electric cost.

@mctfzipmail "If we change all the cars to electricity only we will have to burn a lot more petroleum"

So simple minded.

The idea behind converting to electric is to allow power supply to slowly move over.

I live in phx az, where we get almost all of our power from a dam, or a nuclear power plant.

We're also building a solar panel factory.

I'm personally buying solar panels right now to charge our ELECTRIC car.

Can you by solar panels to fuel your hybrid XD

Anyway, I'm off in my awesome car, bye
