With lighter weight, it is claimed, mileage electric car further 30-50 percent compared dnegan 4-passenger electric car that started a lot sold at this time. Place for the city, mileage Lupo Electric reach 215 km.
Furthermore, bile dikebut toll street, only 135 km with silus Artemis. Despite the large size of battery used, but the interior and trunk dimensions have not changed from the original. Reportedly, kemmpuan dikebut car, 130 km / h (max.) and sprint from 0-100 km / h in 12 seconds.
Cheaper
The battery is used, Thundersky is a type of lithium-iron phosphate (liFePO4) and assessed its lower price is around 300 euros or USD 3.750.000per kWh. It says the battery is durable and safe. The weakness, lower energy density than Li-ion battery.
Further, this test car road worthy has been obtained from the Land Transportation Office of the Netherlands that could be tested with real road conditions. The main target of researchers from the University of Eindhoven is to find a variety of sensors that digunakanmemantau batteries, propulsion systems, energy consumption component and vehicle dynamics.
This car is also equipped with central control (PLC), using a 4-CAN BUSS and 80 I / O ports. The goal, to be flexible for different research purposes. VW feature that is retained is ABS, a safety bag and dashboard that serves as the original.
During the research, continued analysis of vehicle performance, mileage and approximate size of the battery. In addition, also to test and determine the model components and battery efficiency. Also performed analysis of how the application of regenerative braking energy, the advantage when the electric motor directly mounted on wheels, the software to control the car, the vehicle status information to the driver and electric power steering.
