Vehicle | 2000 Honda HRV AWD Manual I have an idea to convert a Honda HRV AWD manual to rear wheel electric and leaving the front wheel drive intact including the motor as it normally only uses front wheel drive till you loose traction ( 4WD is Hydraulically activated so easy to disable ) so I will remove the rear drive shaft shorten it and attach the electric motor to it its diff has a low ratio of about 4.5 to 1 perfect for a AC55 In electric mode petrol motor off and in neutral electric motor driving rear wheels only It has plenty of room and clearance underneath the rear to accommodate the electric motor batteries , charger and controller , It would be a sort of hybrid drive upto 60 to 100ks on battery then turn on the petrol motor to go longer distances but retain the regenerative braking of the electric motor to recharge the batteries a bit. | ||||||||
Motor | Azure Dynamics/Solectria AC55 3-Phase AC | ||||||||
Drivetrain | Honda HRV Petrol the motor is very light all alloy around 100kg I can lift one np it will power the vehicle driving the front wheels after the battries get down to 80%. The electric motor will drive the rear wheels of the vehicle for the first 100 miles or so. The whole car weighs 1150kg and it has a load capacity of around 600kg so weight won't be a problem its a SUV remember and I can still drive it around while I convert it with a lot less work involved to the only thing that has to be made is the tail shaft every thing else just bolts or wired together once the electric motor is mounted I'll just drive the HRV around to a Tail shaft specialist and get them to fit a custom made one np. | ||||||||

Additional Features | Petrol motor for long range but electric mode will proberly be used 95% of the time. Hydraulically activated rear differential clutch will allow it to free wheel in petrol mode to save fuel and not spin the electric motor over but can be locked for regenerative braking. | ||||||||

Honda HRV the motor is very light all alloy around 100kg I can lift one np as for the rest, muffler ,radiator and fuel tank maybe another 50 kg so not much weight to be saved any way,the whole car weighs 1150kg and it has a load capacity of around 600kg so weight won't be a problem its a SUV remember and I can still drive it around while I convert it with a lot less work involved to the only thing that has to be made is the tail shaft every thing else just bolts or wired together once the electric motor is mounted I'll just drive the HRV around to a Tail shaft specialist and get them to fit a custom made one np. |
