High-Voltage Electric HVAC Compressor - Is specifically designed for electric vehicle
applications, drawing energy directly from the main battery pack ·
Electric Water Pumps - circulates coolant for the motor, inverters, battery and
climate control system. ·
Traction Motor - Performs the conversion between
electrical and mechanical power. Electric motors have efficiencies three
times higher than that of a standard gasoline engine. Minimizing energy loss
and heat generation ·
Electric Power Steering - Is tuned to deliver the same
driving dynamics as the gasoline-powered Focus ·
Transmission - Has the identical role as in a
gasoline vehicle; however, it has different design considerations due to the
higher rpm range available from the electric motor and increased emphasis on
efficient and silent operation. The transmission is a single-speed unit. ·
Modular Powertrain Cradle - Enables quiet operation by holding
the entire propulsion system within the engine compartment, isolated from the
vehicle body ·
Electric Vacuum Pump - Provides energy-efficient
power-assisted braking ·
High-Voltage Electric Coolant Heater and
Controller - Specifically designed for electric vehicle applications, using
energy-efficient technology to heat and circulate coolant. Heat also may be
circulated to the battery to optimize performance. ·
Vehicle Control Unit - Monitors and controls each vehicle
system, and manages energy and mechanical power being delivered to the wheels
to maximize range. ·
Battery Pack - Total energy capacity of 23 kWh
with liquid coolant for thermal management; includes control module that
manages temperature and state of charge. ·
DC-DC Converter - Allows the vehicle’s main battery
pack to charge the onboard 12V battery to power various vehicle accessories
(headlights, etc.). ·
AC Charger - Converts the AC electricity from the power grid to DC
voltage required by the battery. A full battery charge can be completed in a
matter of hours and the vehicle will accommodate both 120V and 240V power
sources. |
