A Kamtech Range Extended EVs is NOT a hybrid Most parallel hybrids use large "off-the-shelf" IC engines with outputs of over 80 kW. But that extra power is only used for a few seconds when accelerating, once the EV are up to speed their output drops to under 12 kW. This means most of the time they are operating at around 12-15 % efficiency.
In sharp contrast, Kamtech's Rad Cam engine only makes electric power, is turned on only when needed, and operates at the speed and load where it is most efficient (>40%). In cold climates, it can co-generate, or use its waste heat to warm the interior, this makes its thermal efficiency over 50%. In hot weather, it has enough power to drive an air conditioner compressor, all
without stressing the driver about running out of charge.
Kamtech REs quietly operate in the background, automatically providing electric power as needed. More importantly, it perfectly interfaces with the habits and expectations of today's car owners. Your happy EV owners will not suffer from range anxiety, and charging time trauma.
A smaller battery pack will make thermal management easier. Lowering your EV's weight will give it more of a feeling of familiarity in handling and
much greater safety. Because of this greater safety and ease of ownership, your EV owners will no longer face higher insurance costs or r
apid loss of value.Kamtech's Range Extender is a breakthrough technology for EVs! The Kamtech range extender's small size and lightweight will give your car designers greater freedom to create cars that fit the lifestyle of different market segments. These cars will handle better, stop faster, and have better rides than any comparable BEV, HEV, PHEV, or ICE vehicle. This is why
a growing group of companies are developing range-extended EVs.
