CONCEPT 1™ © 2008 is applying new all electric motor vehicle technology that replaces the conventional gasoline or diesel internal combustion engine (ICE) with aluminum light weight high voltage three phase Electric Motor[s] (EM) of equal or greater horsepower that will have a driving range that may prove to be virtually unlimited. We power the EM with LifeBatt high voltage light weight (LiFeP04) Ion Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Packs™ (BP) that sends DVC power to a DC to AC inverter that is also a motor controller. The inverter produces the required ACV three phase electricity to power the EM. Some EM’s require 336 ACV, others require up to 460 ACV. This also effects the size and power of the BP. We are experimenting to determine if the BP can be charged with a high voltage alternator to keep the BP fully charged while the vehicle is being driven. If it can’t be done then we will add a ICE electric generator and high voltage battery charger to extend the driving range, but we think the alternator will work. The EM is connected to the vehicle’s existing transmission with a Motor To Transmission Marriage Plate (MTMP) that mounts the motor shaft to the transmission flywheel. We know that this will work with manual transmissions, but we are once again experimenting to determine if it will work with automatic transmissions. We anticipate that this will work if the torque converter is removed since it is need only to keep the ICE from moving when at a slow idle. This is not needed with an EM since its motor shaft is not moving when stopped. The LifeBatt BP has a battery Voltage Management System [computer circuit] (VMS) built in each BP to monitor each individual battery cell of the BP and the overall combined condition of the hundreds of cells that make up the entire BP. The LifeBatt VMS also has a global tracking computer chip imbedded into the circuit board that records each charge cycle and the location of the BP anywhere in the world. It will notify the driver of any BP problems. The gasoline or diesel ICE powered vehicle components that rely on ICE power (belt, pulley, heat, vacuum) are replaced with electric component versions that are more energy efficient. These components include the air conditioner compressor, heater coil, alternator, power steering pump, and vacuum pump. The existing 12 volt electronics of the vehicle remain unaltered and are powered by the vehicle’s 12 volt battery that is charged by a DC to DC converter that replaces the 12 volt battery alternator. Computer programming adjustments will also be made to the vehicle's computer for components no longer being used as well as the remaining components that are now powered by the electric system. An optional high voltage battery charger is available as an onboard charger that can be plugged into any 110 or 220 volt household or business electric outlet. CONCEPT 1™ © 2008 also can install solar and wind power generators at your home or business to provide electric energy with a 1 to 4 year pay back. There are also local, state and federal tax credits and deductions that greatly reduce the overall cost of the electric conversions of your automobile and home or business to the use of alternative energy. The LifeBatt life charge cycle of the BP is guaranteed for 3 years or 2,000 charges cycles. If the battery BP is kept above an 80% charge level then LifeBatt estimates the life charge cycle will be increased to over 10,000 charges. See diagram below for details:
