Mitsubishi MiEV Electric Car In-Wheel Motor Concept

Video Title :	Mitsubishi MiEV Electric Car In-Wheel Motor Concept
Description :	Mitsubishi MiEV Electric Car In-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. Mitsubishi MiEV Concept in-wheel motor Li-ion battery EV hybrid.

And while hitting the road, fast-charging stations can fill-up your batteries in 10-15 minutes.

Volvo made this first but it is an old technology anyway.

Man i'm proud to say that it's a french canadian technology developped by a physicist from Hydro-Québec, but the project got aborted by gas lobbies and Hydro-Québec refused to pay 30 M $ from the ending of developpement..... Vive le Québec !!!! :P

Seriously, misdirected national patriotism!! Porsche invented wheel motors in 1898 and last time I checked he wasn't French or Canadian!

hydrogen it seems like a road with no out, with that platinium electrodes. Lition batteries seems to be the road.

I'm buying one as soon as they come out. everyone buy one. oil is for cooking french fries.

please do not produce these cares. think of all petrolium companies. they need to stay rich. we need to make them richer. we will never let you bring these cars into market. down with the electric cars. up with the global warming. up with the petrolium companies. we love them. we are addicted to them. we want to spend all our money for them.

I agree, I was just getting used to those warm winters...

4WD -I agree. "In-Wheel" motors - that's not so obvious. They would add unwanted unsprung weight, even as compact e-motors may be. With EVs the goal should be low total weight, which in turn raises demand for low unsprung wheel weight : this is because to a great extent IT'S THE RELATIONSHIP in mass between sprung and unsprung weight that affects handling. So mid-mounted e-motors would have advantages, and the driveshafts would allow even brakes to be mid-mounted ! -> Even lower unsprung !

I'll give you a few reasons why mid mount is a bad idea. 1)Each time you tranmit power through a gear, power is lost. A 2WD losses 30% a 4WD 40%.(in wheel mounted motors are 100% efficient at transmitting power to the wheel) 2) Gearboxes, diffs, half shafts, CV joints, all ad up to weight 100's of kg (ALL can be deleted with wheel motors) 3) The wheel motors ARE the brakes, so you're not adding weight, you're replacing the brakes which can weight about the same as the motor.
