Gold FFM RobinB5 Posted July 21, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 An interesting article from an electrical engineering perspective: https://www.eetimes.com/pushing-the-limits-of-weight-power-delivery-in-ev-hypercars/ Some more detailed info about the Evija e-powertrain. The use of wind-bandgap Silicon Carbide in the inverter is leading edge, much lower switching losses than Silicon, less cooling required for a given energy throughput. Plus integrating the inverter with the motor further reduces parasitic losses that you find if the 2 are separated. Not that Lotus themselves designed it, that was done by Williams Advanced Engineering with the hardware supplied by Integral Powertrain ltd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giniw Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 @pete It is so much better than any ad videos, I mean, both of them happily laughing in the Evija after a little acceleration is catching and relatable https://youtu.be/PWCvR4n7Euo?t=623 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LotusLeftLotusRight Posted September 1, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 That wouldn’t be the first Lotus to hang around at the factory for so long that it needed an MOT before finding a home. This is mine. First registered in 2012 but not sold until 2015. Therefore its first MOT was at 4 miles, which is the distance from the old Lotus Motorsport building to the nearest village MOT station. It passed OK… 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
