Re: Phev Insight
I think these guys stand to make a lot of money from this idea as an easy add on to improve economy for the right cars.
If the motors are strong enough which I don't believe they are, the Insight could be made into a full EV as well.
Just remove everything up front,engine,gearbox,IMA,driveshafts,cooling sys,exhaust sys,fuel tank,plus everything in the rear.
Add chosen batteries distributed for balance,electrically driven A/C compressor from Prius and Brake vacuum booster plus controllers and wala a light wt aerodynamic EV with no complicated drive system.
There is no regen either (DC motors)?
