ALL ELECTRIC VEHICLE WITHOUT PLUG-IN REQUIREMENT

摘要

An electric powered vehicle includes a battery pack capable of storing electric energy, definable by energy values including a low value, a maximum value, and a defined minimum functional (DMF) value and a fuel engine operated by a hydrocarbon fuel. Also included is a first front generator having a rotor in electromechanical communication with a crank shaft of the fuel engine, and an electric driving motor (“EDM”) receiving an electrical input from the first generator. Electrical charge sensor means determine the charging status of the battery pack. Also provided is a starter of the fuel engine that activates when a sensed charge of the battery pack falls to or below the DMF value. Also included is a second and third front generator in electromechanical communication with the crankshaft of the fuel engine during periods when no electrical communication exists between the EDM and the battery pack. The periods of lack of electrical communication include idle, neutral, and parking conditions of the vehicle. The second and third front generators maintain an output in electrical communication to the battery pack until the battery packs are fully charged. Preferably included is a first rear passenger side generator in electromechanical communication with a rear drive shaft assembly, itself in mechanical communication with the vehicle drive shaft, the first rear generator including a level orientation sensor and a rotational velocity sensor in communication with the drive shaft, the sensors in electrical communication between an output of the first rear passenger side generator and the battery pack, such communication enabled upon any downhill motion of the vehicle above a predetermined operational velocity (“POV”) determined by the velocity sensor. A second rear driver side generator has an input in mechanical communication from the vehicle drive shaft, an input to the second rear driver side generator in electrical communication with an accelerator pedal and an output of the pedal in electrical communication with the RPM sensor electrical communication from the second rear driver side generator to the battery pack enabled when no pressure is applied by a driver upon the accelerator pedal, permitting charging of the battery pack by the second rear generator only upon a condition of zero acceleration.
