The gasoline - powered engine / generator — while operating the vehicle at sufficient speed — will feed any excess energy (electricity) back into the lithium - ion
drive battery pack.
In this driver - activated mode, the Outlander PHEV automatically conserves the energy within the lithium - ion
drive battery pack by operating the vehicle in hybrid mode.
In this configuration, the gasoline - powered generator helps charge the lithium - ion
drive battery pack and powers the motors.
The Outlander will switch to series hybrid (Twin Motor 4WD EV with Internal Combustion Generator) when the energy level remaining in the lithium - ion
Drive battery pack is low or when the need arises for a sudden and / or additional degree of acceleration, In this mode the two electric motors are powered by the battery pack and the gasoline - powered generator.
3) The gasoline - powered engine / generator — while operating the vehicle at sufficient speed — will feed any excess energy (electricity) back into the lithium - ion
Drive battery pack
During deceleration (braking), the front and rear electric motors function as generators so that electricity can be generated and fed back into the lithium - ion
drive battery pack.
In Series / Parallel drive modes, the generator produces electricity from the engine and stores it in the lithium - ion
Drive battery pack
In EV drive mode (Twin Motor 4WD EV), the vehicle is driven in a very eco-friendly performance mode by the two electric motors, with energy being supplied exclusively by the lithium - ion
Drive battery pack (100 % electric - powered, zero - emission vehicle).
When the energy level remaining in the lithium - ion
drive battery pack is low or when the need arises for a sudden and / or additional degree of acceleration, the two electric motors are powered by the battery pack and the gasoline - powered generator.
In this driver - activated mode, the Outlander PHEV automatically conserves the energy within the lithium - ion
Drive battery pack by operating the vehicle in hybrid mode (Note: Battery Save Mode will only operate once the lithium - ion
Drive battery pack's energy level falls below 90 % full).
When activating the Battery Charge Mode — whether the vehicle is in motion or at a standstill — the engine will generate electricity to be fed into the lithium - ion
drive battery pack (essentially forcing the vehicle to operate in Series Hybrid Mode).
For an additional level of protection, a specially - designed supplemental G - force sensor will activate and shut down the lithium - ion main
drive battery pack's high voltage circuit should the force of a collision be so severe that it damages the High Voltage Control System.
Regenerative Brake Control The goal of the Regenerative Brake Control system is to provide the maximum amount of regenerative energy back into the lithium - ion main
drive battery pack in a controlled and efficient manner.
Innovative i - MiEV Safety Technologies Electric vehicle - specific safety technologies include the Approaching Vehicle Audio System (AVAS) external audible alert system to warn pedestrians of the approaching EV; automated electrical disengagement of the electric drivetrain and lithium - ion main
drive battery pack to protect the vehicle's occupants and paramedics / rescue personnel in the event of a collision; and having all high - voltage wiring and componentry positioned between the passenger compartment subfloor and the vehicle's exterior floors so there are no high - voltage wiring harnesses running through the vehicle's cabin.
A High Voltage Control System instantaneously shuts down the lithium - ion main
drive battery pack's high - voltage circuitry if the system detects any battery pack leakage or failure (the most likely cause of such a battery failure would be a severe vehicle collision).
Another benefit of the lithium - ion main
drive battery pack's location is that it aids overall vehicle dynamics, handling and stability by lowering the vehicle's center of gravity.
