Electrically driven vehicle operating method, involves operating electrical generator as motor using electrical energy when electrical energy store is fully charged, and driving internal combustion engine by electrical generator

摘要

The method involves mechanically connecting an internal combustion engine (3) i.e. range extender, to an electrical generator (4). Braking energy is partially recovered by an electrical drive motor (2) operated as a generator in an electrical braking mode. The electrical generator is operated as a motor using electrical energy recovered by the electrical drive motor operated as the generator in a continuous braking mode when an electrical energy store (5) is fully charged. The internal combustion engine is driven by the electrical generator.
