      Although an electric motor has a “sound”, it’s nowhere near as dramatic as an engine spinning up. It’s doesn’t have much tonal range.
      I think the music compliments this perfectly, and is at just the right level - adding interest but without overpowering the sounds inside the cabin.

      No, it shows why a transmission is needed. The motor will only spin so fast. After that, there's nothing left. With a 2 or 3 speed, the motor doesn't have to spin a top speed to get up to that velocity, and could possiby do almost TWICE that.

    Lithium cells don't like being any hotter than 60 to 70C (140-158F) or you end up with a fireball as the cells hit thermal runaway
    The pack was probably being current limited to prevent the pack from going into thermal runaway and exploding by the time it got to Döttinger Höhe.

      the car was not build for highspeed. The accu cells have a own electric cooling unit. EP9 have much bigger accus, means much more weight, with more horsepower and higher speed. More weight means slower acceleration, slower apex speed and you must be earlier on the breaks.

      Problem is that you can't build accu cells who can store more energy with the same weight. Lithium is the best element for store energy they know at the moment. Thats the big problem, more energy or longer distance means more weight and slower car.
      First you must find a new chemical element on the planet that will store more energy like Lithium.

    • @morgfarm1
      @morgfarm1 5 лет назад +1

      If it's anything like the RC cars I used to race, it could either be introduced by heat in the motors, or more likely, a battery saving feature. Heat robs electric motors of power, and a lot of it. Without knowing the battery technology in the car off hand, it could go either way. I do know that with Hybrid racing cars, if you lose that battery power, you lose your acceleration power. Stands to reason it's a battery saving feature intended for longer runs. Notice it was able to hit 260kph after heavy braking which is regenerative on most hybrids and electric cars.
      I see electric cars more as 1:1 scale RC vehicles - They use the same concepts and principles, just different technologies and larger parts. If you found a 1:10 scale VW ID.R RC car, 27kph would be the correct scale speed. Though, who wants an RC that does 27kph? 160kph is where it's at. (Rough estimating, I'm from the US so my speed conversion is a little off-center from what it should be; the Traxxas XO-1 RC is capable of 100mph out of the box with option components; I believe a 6s LiPo battery and a massive brushless electric motor and highly durable Electronic Speed Controller to match the car's size and power; the XO-1 is actually roughly 1:7.5 scale.
