Belarus plans to release its electric car

To go the way of the leading market for the electric decided in Belarus. Recently become aware of some details of the development of the Belarusian electric vehicle, planned to be released in 2017.

To create a domestic electric vehicle is engaged in joint Institute of mechanical engineering of the National Academy of Sciences. The new car will be built on the basis of produced in Belarus Geely SC7. However, the main components of the powertrain such as the motor and battery will be developed by local specialists.

It is worth noting that the Chinese automaker Geely already has several "green" machines. For example, the same EC7 EV with a power reserve of 253 km has become one of the most popular models of the year. Over the past 12 months in China has sold 3,000 electric cars of this brand. But Geely is not planning to stop there, her goal for next year is 30 000 Aromasin.





But in this case, the Chinese sedan is not the final version of the Belarusian electric vehicle. While this is just the so-called "mule" — in fact just the body for testing any technical solutions. Likewise, any car manufacturers when developing new models.

In many respects the technical characteristics of the Belarusian electric vehicle will depend on the position of the city authorities. All depends on the infrastructure for electric cars — development of a network of filling stations. It is from this factor will depend on how to expand this industry.

In other words, if the city government is limited to a few charging stations for the whole Minsk, it will direct the development of the Belarusian electric car towards the creation of electric cars with high mileage on a single charge. And in his design will use lithium batteries — they have long charged, but provide a large reserve.

And here the picture will be interesting: its production of lithium cells in Belarus does not exist. And because the cells will be purchased on the side. We can assume that it will be a battery produced in China. This is a fairly reasonable solution and normal practice from the point of view of economy development. To create the production of lithium batteries in Belarus is absolutely unprofitable and futile if the world already has affordable solutions.

But the battery management system, thermal equilibration will already be Belarusian development.

The second variant of development of the project is the installation of superconductors. Unlike traditional batteries, super capacitors have a short charging time, can withstand a huge number of cycles charge/discharge (not less than 100 000), they are lightweight and do not require complex equipment for charging. But with all these positive aspects, they do not provide a large energy reserve and great reserve.





Belarusian scientists have created a material that is twice the characteristics of existing solutions for supercapacitors. With such storage capacity will be enough for 40 kilometers, and charging takes place in a matter of minutes. But this technical concept involves an extensive structure of charging stations. Therefore, while this option is being considered.

Now the main effort of the power unit — mechatronic module with reducer and inverter. That is, it is safe to say that the engine in the Belarusian electric car will have its own production.

When the commercial version, as the price of the Belarusian electric cars, of course, or not speak at all or speak with caution. In 2017, according to the developers, you can expect only the experimental sample. published
