e-Power System
talk through the e-Power system setup: it starts with the high-output Lithium-ion battery that is connected to the electric powertrain. This electric system is then integrated with a petrol engine, power generator, inverter and motor. To stop the confusion we have provided diagrams of the e-Power vs a 100% electric vehicle and a conventional hybrid vehicle.
The key element about the e-Power is the petrol engine is not connected to the wheels. The only job of the petrol engine is to charge the battery. The battery then powers the electric motor to move the wheels.
