The Eternal Cycle: Speed Fights With Volts And WattsSpeed records with electric vehicles tumble every year, and even with volts and watts it is getting faster and faster. Although this data is not usable, as the record-breaking vehicles have little in common with today's electric production vehicles, the races nevertheless help to improve components, motors and batteries and ... above all, they also give the electric vehicle the flair of speed, the emotions that come from the gut, which we in the world of automobiles, especially when they are environmentally friendly now, always need. That was already the case before!The first automobile to break through the dreaded speed of 100 km/h was an electric vehicle. And this already in 1899!…28 March 2020 / V. Christian Manz
Electric Car Exceeds 100 Km/h In 1899This record reached in November 1899 by the Belgian Camille Jenatzy was held for three years, before it was broken by another ecological car, a steam car. The gasoline car still took many months until it could compete with the other propulsions.The doctors and the priests did not come to a clear…23 July 2016 / V. Christian Manz
Electric Vehicle Motors In this article we share some of our research for the new IDTechEx report, "Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles 2012-2022" www.IDTechEx.com/Emotors.Today, the motors that propel electric vehicles on land, through water and in the air are mainly brushless because brushed commutator motors are on the way out. Most of the number and the value of those brushless traction motors lies in permanent magnet synchronous ones, notably Brushless DC "BLDC", a form with trapezoidal…08 October 2011 / Dr. Peter Harrop Chairman
Die Geschichte Der Elektroautosenglish translation see above Nikolaus August Otto, Erfinder des Viertakt-Gasmotors, war schon 1899 davon überzeugt, dass der Elektroantrieb seine Erfindung eines Tages ergänzen würde. "Es handelt sich dabei um etwas ganz Grosses", sagte er. Jetzt soll es also soweit sein, doch es ist schon der siebte Versuch, Elektrowagen in Serie zu produzieren. Vielleicht klappt es nun - 134 Jahre nachdem das erste komplett fahrbereite Elektrodreirad von Gustave Trouvé auf der Elektrik-Messe in Paris stand. Im Jahr 2015 werden mit etwa einer Million Einheiten mehr Elektroautos am Strassenverkehr weltweit teilnehmen als je zuvor.Der erste Versuch Die Ausgangslage war für alle Kontrahenten…00 00 0000 / V.
