Volvo C30 Concept
Friday, September 07, 2007
Volvo unveiled an amazing concept car at the Frankfurt Auto Show this week and I would love to see it go into production. Based off the C30, this electric hybrid would give you up to 62 miles before the engine switches over. Below is some more info on the car.
..........................
Juice for the motors will come from a lithium polymer battery pack mounted in the trunk with sufficient capacity for 62 miles of electric driving. Once the battery state of charge dips to thirty percent, a 1.6L four cylinder flex-fuel engine bolted to a generator starts up to re-charge the battery. The ReCharge can also be plugged in to replenish the battery energy.
The engine-generator has enough power to provide juice to a house in the event of power-failure. Thanks to the range of battery and the fact that the engine can operate at its most efficient speed, the ReCharge can do a 93 mile drive on 2.8L of gas for 124mpg (US).
