Upgrading kit for upgrading motor vehicle to hybrid vehicle, has control circuit adjusting electrical power for supply to electric machine, where power is stored in energy storage, drawn through conversion and provided at energy connection

摘要

The kit (10) has an electric machine (16) i.e. wheel hub machine, for driving a wheel (36) of a motor vehicle (14). An integrated energy storage and control module (18) includes an energy storage (20) to store electrical energy. A transducer (22) converts the stored energy into a form that is suitable for supply to the machine. The module is coupled to the machine via an energy connection (26). A control circuit (24) adjusts electrical power for supply to the machine, where the power is stored in the energy storage, drawn through conversion by the transducer and provided at the connection. An independent claim is also included for a method for upgrading motor vehicle provided with an electric drive and operated by an internal combustion motor vehicle.
