Electric Cars and Plug-In Hybrid Honda

electric cars, hybrid plug-ins or the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), electric scooters and carts. On 20 December, and Honda also did the same with Saitama Prefecture. In this test program Honda uses four vehicles. First Fit electricity, Inspire sedan hybrid plug-in (PHEV), scooters and carts (four-wheeled motorcycle). At the same time also tested the charging system which obtain energy from the sun (in the Honda factory environment). Atkinson Cycle Especially for hybrid cars, Honda is trying to follow some of the technology used on the Toyota Prius. For that, Inspire sedan mounted four-cylinder engine, 2.0 liters of typical technology dengna Honda i-VTEC with Atkison cycle. Furthermore, Honda uses two electric motors (one motor and one generator) and lithium-ion battery. The main electric motor produces 120 kW maximum power, duty propel the car at once change change kinektik energy when the car is braking into electricity. One more is a generator that produces electricity to 100 kW. The relationship between engine with an electric motor plus generator is different from that applied by Toyota. At Honda, electric motor and a conventional engine can work independently. Plug-In Hybrids As described by experts Honda, Honda hybrid plug-ins can be run with only electric powered car (electric vehicle), hybrid (conventional engine and electric motor) and the gasoline engine alone. It is also possible to run cars with gasoline engines while the generator produces electricity to be stored in batteries. Unfortunately no details of the concept described hybrid plug-ins. Honda just say, motors and generators are in addition to the engine. Furthermore, motors and generators can be exempted (break) through the clutch. While the hybrid Toyota, engine, motors and generators connected by a planetary gear and can not be determined. That is, when the gasoline engine running the car is still associated with an electric motor.
