Batteries Emotion: SAM II EV Ecar - Innovative Technology and Ecology

SAM II EV Ecar - Innovative Technology and Ecology

The SAM was one of the first electric car as he arrived in 1993 to the market. From this long experience in the manufacture of electric vehicles will benefit buyers of this small car, because it contains a proven technology. The vehicle is aware of a small two-seater with only three wheels designed as a low power consumption is an important requirement for electric vehicles. Only small and light vehicles can provide great coverage and speeds suitable for everyday use, without it being to large batteries required. The SAM II EV has a range of 90 kilometers, for commuters and for use in city traffic is usually sufficient. Its maximum speed is 90 mph and is also designed for city driving and short distances on highways.

His energy of the SAM II refers EV lithium-polymer batteries, highlighted by both the heating and cooling of the vehicle and the heating of the windshield. The brushless drive motor is equipped with a permanent magnet and provides a nominal output of 11.6 kW, while peak power is 19 kW. The innovative energy-recovery technology in braking mode can increase the range of the SAM II EV even by 8 to 12%. The vehicle offers three different driving modes, Eco, sports and snow mode to be prepared for every situation on the road.

The charging of the batteries is possible at any standard Schuko socket. For a full charge the batteries need five hours, but after an hour charge time, 40% of the electrical charge reached. Thus, the SAM II EV refuels during working hours or the shopping spree at a charging station in the parking lot all by itself again in full. The power consumption of the SAM II EV is 8 kilowatt-hours for 100 kilometers. With a vehicle weight including the battery pack of 500 kg allows the vehicle has a payload of 220 kilograms and provides plenty of capacity for two adult passengers.

Volkswagen calls for electric car subsidies

The carmaker Volkswagen combines its research and development in electrical engineering with Wolfsburg, but will be centrally responsible. It is to be in the words of VW spokesman Christian Buhlmann clarified especially as the batteries can be grouped into units, such as the holding period is long, what they need and cooling take place as the power demand is. In addition to Wolfsburg Palo Alto is the second largest site, where about 100 people are employed with the electrical mobility and the Google navigation.

The personnel there to check how far can integrate lithium-ion batteries in electric cars. The new CEO Martin Winterkorn has called the policy in Europe for the promotion of electric mobility. The planned promotion in the U.S. and China are the main reason for this demand. According to him, significant investments to introduce the electric car technology would be needed. In China for buyers of electric vehicles up to 4,600 euros in grants which the purchase is affordable. The automaker is the electric version of the VW Golf and the electric car VW Up! in 2013 to introduce to the market.

Tazzari plans electric Cabriolet

The Italian electric car manufacturer Tazzari plans for spring 2012, the launch of an electric convertible under the name Tazzari Zero Roadster. The range should amount to the manufacturer's instructions with one battery charge to 140 kilometers and are the maximum speed at 100 mph. Since early 2010, the electric car will be purchased as a closed variant in Germany. In Silence by Germany GmbH in Salzgitter in the dealership Strube, the Tazzari and other electric vehicles to be admired.

The city car is the same as in Salzgitter in the capital in the government district in a showroom, where it waits for its buyers. At the beginning of may orders for the Tazzari electric car was abandoned. The crude oil will be exhausted in 20 to 30 years and by then, the alternative energy sources have become established. The electric cars can only be successful if a nationwide charging stations network is established and the range increases and the prices are reduced.
