EV Super Duty with Coyote range extender under considerationIt may make sense to have the generator output high voltage AC 3 phase directly into the drive system, since the E motors runs on 3 phase AC. The range extender would use the motor's inverter to convert the AC into DC to charge the battery.
AC generators are more efficent, and sending power directly to the wheels bypassing the battery reduces wear on the battery, high wattage charging.
This also allows the battery and RE to work in parallel, reducing peak energy output from the battery pack.
This setup would make the range extender plug and play with pure BEV trucks.Fri, 20 Sep 2024 04:45:25 +0000
