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 100,000 hours or 6 MILLION Kms before they need servicing.

This is absolutely NOTHING new... It's used for a long time in HUGE mining trucks. The 3500hp engine generate electricity wich "moves" electric motors in each wheel, then when the truck needs to brake (going down) it uses induction of these motors to brake and just wastes it in heat lol

@hydrogenix So there IS something new!!

Diesel electric mine trucks don't have battery energy storage to capture and reuse energy from regenerative braking. As you say, they blow it off via a bank of rheostat the same as most train locomotives.

this is copying every thing Lexus has done, the only difference is the plug in and that's old. So...what makes this so special.

[tsport100]

@toyotaprius79 Which Lexus has 4 wheel motors?

[ShowinYaHow]

There is still so much more to do with Electric Vehicles... I can't believe no ones been able to figure it out yet ...

WW2 submarines had diesel-electric drive and recharging system!

That was 70 years ago. Hehe!

They haven't built a diesel electric car yet, because it would blow the oil companies away, with over 100 mil/gal or more.

When Bush the oil man became president, he had it shred all the existing electric cars.

Thats it. Volvo is a environment fag.

[baldandold]

the larger car manufacturers build internal combustion engines and have a vested interest in keeping electric cars OFF the road, add the self-interest of the oil companies and we will never see viable electric cars within 100 years, when the oil runs out we may do

[enticed2zeitgeist]

It's kind of obvious isn't it? This whole electric vehicle thing. It's just too easy.

[cold0ero]

@DarkPrince013 look up "law of conservation of energy" to understand why that doesn't work. In a nutshell, generator creates resistance which requires more power output to overcome. That means more power waisted. The reason regenerative braking works well is because we are recapturing energy already used by propelling the vehicle forward. We will always need an outside fuel source to move a vehicle forward, it's only a question of how efficient this outside source is.

Do any of you guys know what kind of battery spec is needed to power this car???

@kickinbackinOC

that is true the idea had been around for a long time. over 100 years actually, in the 1890s it was first patented.

purche even manufactured electric model with wheel motors in 1900.

i personally think its not a great idea to have them on the wheels due to all the bouncing and such it would likely damage them. it would be smarter to just have small drive shafts so that they would be able to take advantage of the cars suspension to dampen any bumps.

@fakiir Flex fuel engines are being used in large scale here in Brazil for more than 6 years. Almost all new cars in the country come with this engines now.

And come on, do you consider it a bigger fire hazard than let`s say a gasoline tank? We all have this batteries in our pockets these days.

A SMALL GAS MOTOR RUNNING A GENERATOR , LIKE THIS SYSTEM , SHOULD BE THE NORMAL STANDARD VEHICLE . IT CUTS INTO GAS CONSUMPTION GREATLY , AND I BELIEVE WOULD SOLVE THE NEEDS FOR PETROLEUM , FOR NOW. THE ONLY NEED IT DOESN'T FILL IS THE NORTH AMERICAN NEED FOR BIG POWERFUL VEHICLES .
