Near-term electric vehicle program, phase 1
Abstract
A preliminary design study for a four passenger electric vehicle is described. Three major tasks were involved: (1) conceptual design/tradeoff study task in which design directions were established; (2) a preliminary design task which developed the designs in more detail; and (3) a development planning task which generated recommendations for a subsequent hardware development program. Each of these areas is discussed. The design and planning work was carried on under the guideline of using near term technology. Design aspects discussed include propulsion system; batteries/charger, body/structure, chassis system, accessories, and weight.
