EERE News: DOE Offers $2.4 Billion to Support Next-Generation Electric Vehicles - 0 views

  •  
    DOE Offers $2.4 Billion to Support Next-Generation Electric Vehicles President Barack Obama announced on March 19 that DOE is offering up to $2.4 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to support next-generation plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and their advanced battery components. Of the $2.4 billion, $1.5 billion in grants will go to U.S. manufacturers to produce high-efficiency batteries and their components; $500 million in grants will go to U.S. manufacturers to produce other components needed for electric vehicles, such as electric motors; and $400 million will go towards projects that demonstrate and evaluate plug-in hybrids and other electric infrastructure concepts. When these plug-in hybrid vehicles are offered for sale, U.S. residents who purchase them will be able to claim a tax credit of up to $7,500. Building a plug-in hybrid vehicle industry in the United States will create tens of thousands of jobs and will reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil.

Seat präsentiert Leon mit Plug-in-Hybridantrieb - ATZ online - 0 views

  • Anfang Januar 2009 enthüllte Francisco García Sanz, Mitglied des Vorstands der Volkswagen AG und Aufsichtsratvorsitzender des Automobilherstellers Seat, im spanischen Technikzentrum in Martorell den Kompaktwagen Leon Twin-Drive Ecomotive. Das Forschungsfahrzeug mit Plug-in-Hybridantrieb wird von einem DI-Dieselmotor sowie einem Elektromotor angetrieben. Dank moderner Lithium-Ionen-Batterien und eines innovativen Energiemanagements bietet der Wagen im emissionsfreien Elektrobetrieb eine Reichweite von bis zu 50 Kilometern.
  • Der Elektromotor des progressiv konzipierten Automobils gibt eine kontinuierliche Leistung von 35 kW ab. Der 1,9-Liter-Dieselmotor entwickelt 77 kW. Die Lithium-Ionen-Batterien zum Antrieb des Elektromotors wurden in den Kofferraum integriert. Wird der Leon allein mit Elektromotor gefahren, ist die Höchstgeschwindigkeit auf 100 km/h begrenzt. Für den Elektrobetrieb wurden zahlreiche Komponenten des Versuchsfahrzeugs aufwendig modifiziert; darunter zum Beispiel das Getriebe, die Servounterstützung der Bremsanlage, weite Teile der Fahrzeugelektronik sowie das Heiz- und Kühlsystem.
