Japanese electrical that runs 300 km without recharging

The company Japan SIM-Drive has finished the construction of an electric vehicle that were developed between January 19, 2010 and March 31, 2011 under the "Advanced Development Model No. 1." He has been named SIM-LEIDerived from the initials of "Leading In-Wheel Motor Efficiency".

SIM-LEI has achieved a range of 300 km per load, and 333 km JC-08 mode, which represents the general conditions of urban traffic in Japan. The battery capacity is 24.5 kWh. Maximum Speed 150 km / h. Its rate of energy consumption is 77 Wh / km JC-08 mode and 84 Wh / km at a constant speed of 100 km / h.


This has been achieved thanks to the original technology used by SIM-Drive, as its special system of engine and components used wheel. The type of steel on which it was built, low-friction tires and body running low air resistance have been other elements that have worked to improve paragraphs as resistance and weight.

Its dimensions are 4.7 m long, 1.6 m wide and 1.5 m high with a weight 1650 kg and 4 seats. The company says it has a great leg room and good luggage. Its speed increases from 0-100 km / h 4.8 seconds.

Some 34 companies are involved in this project, including most notably a Mitsubishi Motors and engineering giant IHI, Along with others trying to enter the electric car business in the future. The aim is to develop the prototype until it can be mass produced and brought to market, according to preliminary estimates, in 2013.
