For a first try at an electric vehicle conversion we’re guessing that most would pick a small city car as a base vehicle, or ...

electric motor, reduction gearing, drive coupling between the final drive gear and the valve stem, and travel limiting devices. The rotational element can be either a circular shaft or a table.

Electric cars’ limitations are basically physical ones about how many motors you can add (four, unless you add more axles), and their size. Motors also deliver that torque directly and ...

The dual-motor electric drivetrain has every chance of upending nearly 100 years of mechanical limited-slip differential ...

A technology pioneered by Benjamin Franklin is being revived to build more efficient electric motors, an effort in its nascent stage that has the potential to be massive. A handful of ...

Little changes for 2024. The cheapest standard-range Leaf S has a 40-kilowatt-hour battery, a modest 147-horsepower electric motor and an EPA-rated 149 miles of range. The interior has few frills ...

Electric motor power output, battery size ... and sometimes, a propeller shaft and differential (some EVs will feature the latter). But the most significant loss of energy is the friction brakes.

Are electric cars more efficient than gas-powered cars? Technically, electric motors are more efficient than gasoline or diesel engines and can provide cheaper operation per mile — but it ...

For its part, French automotive supplier Valeo has focused on magnet-free electric motor stators and control systems, working with Renault on its next-gen E7A motor design, planned for a 2027 launch.

Its embedded sensors stream real-time data on torque, speed, axial force as well as vibrations, and it monitors the degree of overlap of the two PTO shaft halves. Productivity is optimized and ...

You might think that electric vehicles are only a relatively recent invention, starting more or less with the General Motors EV1 but only really taking off after Tesla entered the game and ...
