Defiant EV3 Roadster — triple electric car Bashny.Net

A young company from Tennessee has created an unusual electric car that combines modern technology and retro design. Its shape Defiant EV3 Roadster similar to pilot a racing car Nissan DeltaWing that crashed three years ago, and prototypes of the company DeltaWing Technologies. The similarity is not only external. Basic characteristics and claimed advantages, they also are very close. Most of the life people spend in captivity stereotypes, forcing you to use familiar, but not the most rational decision even after the change of technologies. So is happening now with electric cars, the first of which just copy the groundwork for gasoline predecessors. Still they often carry only the driver or one or two companions, even though they have five-seat design. Shockwave Motors company decided on a small revolution and developed a triple car.

 





Defiant EV3 Roadster

 

Led the development of John mcmillian saying (John McMillian) – officer, U.S. air force, retired, civilian engaged in designing electric vehicles for over forty years. He has written two books about how she sees the future of this industry: "Electric Cars: The switch is on!" and "The Leader''s Guide to Quality in America." Co-author of the project was Norman Ryu (Normand Rheault) is a business consultant, working for Hyundai Motors Canada, Bell Helicopter, Textron, and Rolls-Royce.

The mcmillian saying says that the refusal of the front passenger seat helped to reduce drag and improve aerodynamics as a whole. The mass of the Defiant EV3 was only 680 kg. In the rear he placed the battery pack, cooling system and electric motor, accelerates the Roadster from 0 to 100 km/h in ten seconds. The maximum speed is 120 km/h.

When driving at high speed energy costs represent about 12.5 KW×h for every hundred kilometers. At speeds up to 40 km/h they are reduced, giving the equivalent flow rate of 0.7 l / 100 km the Calculation is provided by the developer subject to testing in Russellville, where is the headquarters of the company. To watch a video of one of them below.



The power of the electric motor, on-Board computer, air conditioner, lighting equipment and other electronics is supplied from a single Li-ion battery with a voltage of 144 V. it is Charged via the integrated charger, plug into us standard outlet (120V).

Buyers will be offered the choice of a standard battery and high capacity. The estimated mileage per charge is 250 – 280 km 442 km, respectively. With a battery of basic configuration it can be slightly increased due to the installation of regenerative system (recharging during braking), but it is better just to pay extra for a more capacious battery.

Elongated and tapering anteriorly form the electric vehicle seems unstable, however, the mcmillian saying claims that this is misleading. The center of mass from the Defiant EV3 is located closer to the rear suspension, and it is wide enough.

Passive safety was also designed to trifles. The perimeter chassis is formed of durable steel tubes, protecting the vital space of the driver and passenger. A long hood with programmed deformation absorbs most of the impact energy. Additional rigidity is achieved by eliminating the rear doors.

The main drawback of this Roadster is the price of the $ 25,000, due to the peculiarities of small-series production. The beginning of sales is planned without an exact date. The first batch should appear next year.published
