Electric car with exchangeable batteries

Dominantly in the trunk of the Fiat Doblo is a 300kg Lithium battery. With a fork lift, it is possible to exchange the battery in some minutes.

The testing of 15 prototypes is finished. Alone in Rom shall 90 taxis be delivered with electric propulsion.

The photo shows also evident the disadvantages of an exchangeable battery. It is not possible to distribute the batteries space saving in the car. It is necessary to make the battery easy accessible.
Batteries in electric and hybrid vehicles
Where are all the batteries inside electric vehicles? Some examples where the batteries are built into the cars.


Renault Kangoo

  EVER Monaco 2007 fair for ecological vehicles


Report from the EVER ecological vehicles renewable energy fair in Monaco end of March 2007

Newton elecric vehicles Newton elecric vehicles
Newton introduced on the EVER a FIAT Doblo as an electric van. With the exchangeable battery system can it be used even as a Taxi. 90 Taxis will be delivered to Rome.


Renault Kangoo electric car Renault Kangoo electric car
Lithium is the material on which our automobile future consists. At a short test drive, drive, it was possible to convince myself about this.


Renault Kangoo Plug-in-Hybrid car Renault Kangoo Plug-in-Hybrid car
The Dassault Group frees Renault from all sorrows regarding the CO2 limit. With electric power from renewable energy and Ethanol for all travels beyond the electric only range.


Hybrid engine for Renault Kangoo Hybrid engine for Renault Kangoo
Complete drive system for an electric dominated hybrid car. It mixes serial and parallel hybrid together to an high efficient new hybrid system.


Hybrid drive for Renault Kangoo Hybrid drive for Renault Kangoo
The teamwork regulated by 2 clutches between a 40kW Ethanol/Benzin combustion engine, a 20 kW engine/generator and a 60 kW electric engine


Kokam complete lithium batteries Kokam complete lithium batteries
From battery cell producer to a battery producer developed Kokam further. There hab een on the booth 2006 only single cells. They showd this year conplete battery packs.


Scooter battery with integrated BMS Scooter battery with integrated BMS
Seperate plugs for charging and discharging. In the box is the BMS battery management system built in. A little bit higher box could be equipped with 40Ah cells.


Battery for electric car Battery for electric car
8 cells with 100 Ah are in this battery pack for electric cars together.Typical connectors for power and battery management volt and temperature.


CityEl tests Kokam Lithium Polymer batteries CityEl tests Kokam Lithium Polymer batteries
From both sides confirmed: CityEl tests just right now lithium polymer batteries from Kokam. Alone 50kg less weight will give the CityEl more temprament.


Saab Volvo with Ethanol Saab Volvo with Ethanol
The engine sets to the actual mix of gasoline and ethanol. Ethanol needs much surface, which only a thinly inhabited country like Sweden has.


Hy bird around the world Hy bird around the world
Around the world in legs of 3000km is planed to fly with a hydrogen airplane. For 150km/h travel speed are 15 kWh required.


City car with integrated photovoltaic City car with integrated photovoltaic
Surprise from Venturi, instead of a super sports car, they show this year a 3 seat city car, which will be produced in a limited edition of 200 vehicles for 24.000,-EUR each.


Peugeot Scootelec Peugeot Scootelec
The prizewinner of the design contest 2007 won one of the last Scootelecs. Time for the organizer to think about a worthy successor of the no longer produced Scootelec.


This scooter is to expensive This scooter is to expensive
Not inside everything what looks like an E-Max S is the same technic, even when the product is offered to the same price of nearly 2000.-EUR.






16 kW charger for lithium batteries What is behind the rear axle of the Fiat Doblo below the bottom? In the box are 2 chargers wtth 7 and 9 kW charging power. together 16 kW to recharge the batteries. Fiat doblo engine department Above the engine controll unit for the electric motor, hidden below the electric engine. Renault Kangoo instruments A plug-in-hybrid has 2 fuel gauges. On the left the big gauge for the charge condition of the batteries, in the upper left beside the middle the gauge for liquid fuel. Battery for HEV Hybrid Electric Vehicle 10 of this batteries in serial are 370V. This battery is designed for hybrod cars. Each battery pack has connection for power and battery management volt and temperature. Battery for military application - communicatgion on the battle field 29V 25Ah Lithium Polymer battery for the military usage. Mainly for the communication in the field. Lexus GS 450h What have the German premium car producers for unnecessary sorrows about the 200 g/km CO2 limit for cars? The 250km/h electronic limited Lexus is enven now below. Lexus RX 400h Will there be no big SUVs when the EU makes an upper limit of 200g CO2/km? What the German premium car producers pretend to be not able, Toyota is even today able. Toyota Prius Who fears the 130g CO2/km fleet limit. Toyota can sell for each 5 Prius one luxury limousine and one big SUV and would be still below the limit. Honda Civic There is not only the Toyota Prius Hybrid. The IMA system in the Honda civic comes very close to the consumption values. Engine department Honda Civic Engine department of the Honda Civic with IMA Integrated motor assist. Hydrogen airplane The hydrogen tank will weigh 300 to 400kg for 27 kg liquid hydrogen. This should be enough for a 3000km leg. Interior of Venturi city car 2,5 m² photovoltaic with 330 Watt peak makes it possible to use most of the time solar energy from the car roof only. Integrated charger in Scootelec No helm locker, but in exchange a built in 1400 Watt charger. It's even possible to use a second external charger. At fast charging is the Scootelec better than the E-Max S. Peugeot Scootelec front storage As a compnesation for the helm locker displaced by charger and NiCd batteries, the Scootelec has a lockable locker in front. Peugeot Scootelec instruments When the battery symbol far right lights up, it's time for a battery service. A service station has to fill up the NiCd batteries with water.
