Video Description:
Mitsubishi MiEV Electric Car In-Wheel Motor Concept
Only about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and drive line inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with
advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $2.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms. Mitsubishi MiEV Concept in-wheel motor Li-ion battery EV hybrid.

what happens to ... ( 6 months ago by KenMacMillan)

what happens to that motor if you hit a curb? Cars are already way over engineered. A well designed electric car can already get 200 miles per charge with Li-ion batteries. Plug it in for 3 hours every couple of days & you're good to go.

Not forgetting the ... ( 6 months ago by tsport100)

Not forgetting the best bit, it'll only cost $2.00 to fill it up instead of $40-50.00 like with fuel. The motor is IN-SIDE the wheel, when was the last time anyone hit a brake disc on a curb?

The i MiEV sounds ... ( 5 months ago by Rickdeckard2020)

The i MiEV sounds promissing and affordable(probably less than 30K$ I think). This car looks even better for winter driving, but I wonder how much it will go for.
I would not be surprise if these cars were available in Japan, but somehow I feel there might be all sorts of political BS RedTape (from BigOil lobby) to suppress its arrival in the US? Lets hope its available ASAP

Something similar ... ( 4 months ago by terry1919)

Something similar to this was TESTED AT THE INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY around 1978-1979 by General Motors and Gerneral Electric the onlu difference was a 4 cylinder Diesel engine top speed 180 MPH 100 MPG so the technology was available then...

It's not a new ... ( 4 months ago by tsport100)

It's not a new concept all right, the Lohner-Porsche System was unveiled in 1898 which was a 4 wheel motor battery EV. 300 of them were actually sold up till 1906. Wheel motors are definitely the way to go for EVs.

that is why as ... ( 4 months ago by terry1919)

that is why as American Consumers we need to hold the CEO's of the USA Car manufactures and oil companies feet to the fire to FORCE THEM to get these devices to the market ASAP...
it will hurt their profits but I'm getting tired of being robbed at the gas pump...

Don't panic it's ... ( 4 months ago by tsport100)

Don't panic it's already happeing! And this time it IS being driven by public demand and not some obscure state regulators. The list of car makers investing $100s of Millions in Li-ion battery plants is like a who's who of the auto industry. GM Toyota Honda Nissan Renault Mitsubishi Subaru Mercedes BMW VW Audi NEC Panasonic LG Hitachi Continental GE etc. We're about to see the biggest wholesale change in Auto history, so when they all start selling EVs, BUY ONE!

I would be ... ( 4 months ago by terry1919)

I would be interested in some conversion kit where you could take an existing vehicle and convert it to an electric vehicle...$10,000 for the kit VS $30-$40,000 to buy a new car/truck

You want Car ... ( 4 months ago by tsport100)

You want Car manufacturers to make EVs but you don't want to buy one!!... that's exactly why they have put off making them for so long.... Trade off the fuel savings with an EV Vs the purchase price, it's something in the region of 95% cheaper to run an EV so depending how many miles you do a year an EV will pay for itself in no time at all.

4WD -I agree. " ... ( 4 months ago by TomtenT)

4WD -I agree. "In-Wheel" motors - that's not so obvious. They would add unwanted unsprung weight, even as compact e-motors may be. With EVs the goal should be low total weight, which in turn raises demand for low unsprung wheel weight : this is because to a great extent IT'S THE RELATIONSHIP in mass between sprung and unsprung weight that affects handling. So mid-mounted e-motors would have advantages, and the driveshafts would allow even brakes to be mid-mounted ! -> Even lower unsprung !

I'll give you a few ... ( 4 months ago by tsport100)

I'll give you a few reasons why mid mount is a bad idea. 1)Each time you tranmit power through a gear, power is lost. A 2WD losses 30% a 4WD 40%.(in wheel mounted motors are 100% efficient at transmitting power to the wheel) 2) Gearboxes, diffs, half shafts, CV joints, all ad up to weight 100's of kg (ALL can be deleted with wheel motors) 3) The wheel motors ARE the brakes, so you're not adding weight, you're replacing the brakes which can weight about the same as the motor.

please do not ... ( 4 months ago by BaaEnsaaf)

please do not produce these cares. think of all petrolium companies. they need to stay rich. we need to make them richer. we will never let you bring these cars into market. down with the electric cars. up with the global warming. up with the petrolium companies. we love them. we are addicted to them. we want to spend all our money for them.

I'm buying one as soon as they come out. everyone buy one. oil is for cooking french fries.

hydrogen it seems like a road with no out, with that platinium electrodes. Lition batteries seems to be the road.

Volvo made this first but it is an old technology anyway.

I agree, I was just getting used to those warm winters...

And while hitting the road, fast-charging stations can fill-up your batteries in 10-15 minutes.

Man i'm proud to say that it's a french canadian technology developped by a physicist from Hydro-Qu
ébec, but the project got aborted by gas lobbies and Hydro-Québec refused to pay 30 M $ from the ending of developpement..... Vive le Québec !!!! :P

Seriously, ... ( 2 months ago by tsport100)

Seriously, misdirected national patriotism!! Porsche invented wheel motors in 1898 and last time I checked he wasn't French or Canadian!

How does the ... ( 2 months ago by kempingpeg)

How does the electric motor work also as the break (regenerative breaking)? Could you perhaps post a vid of this concept? if you can find one.

what sort of HP are ... ( 1 month ago by randomnesswithme)

what sort of HP are they getting out of these wheel motors?

50Kw with a claimed ... ( 1 month ago by tsport100)

50Kw with a claimed 500Nm each wheel motor but no performance data has ever been presented to back these figures up.

I knew they were ... ( 1 month ago by samoht1977)

I knew they were talking about 20 Kw per wheel, something like ~100Kw of total maximum power... not bad, actually. I like that car. Plug in a Bedini generator and you're off of the grid.

You are right that ... ( 1 month ago by tsport100)

You are right that wheel motors can replace friction brakes. Because they are under computer control a whole new generation of ABS and stability control and automatic braking will be possible.
