The main idea is to reuse all parts of the vehicle that are not related to the combustion engine and replace the combustion engine with an electric motor. Engine, radiator, fuel tank<br \/>\nThe chassis, exhaust pipe, alternator, etc. are eliminated, thus reducing the weight of the vehicle. By already having a chassis with everything necessary for driving, such as interior, brakes, tyres, damping, etc., all the effort is reduced to the installation and design of an electric motor system with its corresponding batteries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/elektrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/61_testing-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"61_testing\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is very important to choose a good design of the electrical system, both the motor and the battery pack and battery controller, so that in both power and speed, the car performs as well as it did with the petrol engine. Too much power could damage the traction components or fail to respond to braking as originally designed, and too little power would cause the gearchanges to be too slow.<\/p>\n<p>Elektrun is a project that was born two years ago to test the concept of converting a small, electric, utilitarian, short-distance vehicle, ideal for city journeys. A Renault Twingo was chosen to build a prototype, a car of low weight and reduced size, which after two years of design, testing and experimentation, we have managed to put it into operation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/elektrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/62_testing-300x243.jpg\" alt=\"62_testing\" width=\"300\" height=\"243\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The main stumbling block in a conversion of this type is the range given by the batteries. Nowadays there are already vehicles with a range of up to 700 km, but it is true that for this range you need a pack of between 70 or 80 kW. Our prototype has a 7.4 kW pack.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/elektrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/63_testing-264x300.jpg\" alt=\"63_testing\" width=\"264\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This prototype has an AC motor of 15Kw and a torque of 80Nm, a battery pack of 72V and 100Ah, with a controller of up to 350 amps and 80V. This can give us a top speed of up to 90km\/h in fifth gear.<\/p>\n<p>Early tests showed that the overall weight of the conversion did not affect sharp cornering, the damping responded as expected, and by eliminating noise, the ride is more pleasant.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/elektrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/64_testing-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"64_testing\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A vacuum pump was additionally installed to assist the braking system. Braking is also similar to a Twingo, the car responds to braking with force and holds it for as long as necessary on a ramp.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/elektrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/65_testing-300x163.jpg\" alt=\"65_testing\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A small display was installed inside to monitor the battery, current, engine temperature, state of charge, etc. at all times.<br \/>\nThe lights and interior fittings such as electric windows, radio, ventilation, windscreen wipers were also retained.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/elektrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/66_testing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/elektrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/66_testing-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"66_testing\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This vehicle takes about 8 hours to charge the pack, although there are more powerful chargers that could reduce this time from 6 to 4 hours.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the final result in this video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sc1-pM09n60\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La conversi\u00f3n de un veh\u00edculo de gasolina o di\u00e9sel a el\u00e9ctrico es la manera m\u00e1s sostenible y econ\u00f3mica de conducir un coche el\u00e9ctrico.
