Drive system for electric vehicle - incorporates generator providing battery charging voltage during movement of vehicle

摘要

The drive system uses a generator (1) to provide electrical energy. The generator (1) is associated with a transmission, so that it only rotates when the vehicle is in motion. Energy provided by the generator is fed to a transformer (5) which provides a high charge voltage fed to a full-wave rectifier (6) for charging a vehicle battery during the vehicle motion. A further generator (2) provides the electrical energy for vehicle lights and heating. A second battery may receive the charging voltage when the first battery is fully charged. ADVANTAGE - Extended mileage range between battery charging.
