Abstract

An electric vehicle may include a first drive axle to drive a first wheel of the electric vehicle, a first electric motor mounted directly on the first drive axle, a power supply such as a battery to power the first electric motor, and a controller to control the electric motor. The electric vehicle may include a second drive axle to drive a second wheel and a second electric motor mounted on the second drive axle. The electric motor may be only mounted on the first drive axle. The battery may be formed from an array of batteries.

Claims (24)

1. An electric vehicle, comprising:

a first drive axle to drive a first wheel of the electric vehicle;

a first electric motor mounted directly on the first drive axle;

a battery unit that powers the first electric motor;

a controller to control the electric motor,

wherein the controller controls the electric motor based upon driving speed, driving resistance, wind resistance, weight and the load,

wherein the controller controls the electric motor to have the same turning speed in order to meet the driving requirements;

and wherein the electrical motor includes a dirty cover.

2. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the electric vehicle includes a second drive axle to drive a second wheel and a second electric motor that is mounted on the second drive axle.

3. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the electric vehicle includes multiple driving axles to drive the vehicle and electrical motors mounted on those additional driving axles.

4. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the electrical motor includes a driving axle to raise the height of the electrical motor.

5. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the electrical motor turning direction is similar to the wheel turning direction, is perpendicular to the bottom body of the vehicle or road surface.

6. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is a hybrid electrical vehicle combined with a fuel type generator/alternator and battery to provide electricity for the electrical motor.

7. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is front drive; wherein the vehicle is rear/back drive; and wherein the vehicle is four-wheel-drive.

8. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the electrical motor is a disk type electrical motor, and wherein the stator is positioned in the middle of the electrical motor and sandwiched by the rotors or positioned into sides of the electrical motor and sandwiches the rotor.

9. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the electrical motor is a non-disk type electrical motor.

10. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the motor is a combination of disk type electrical motor and non-disk type electrical motor.

11. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the electrical motor is a single layer type electrical motor; wherein the electrical motor is a two or multiple layer type electrical motor, and wherein the multiple layer type electrical motor includes multiple stators and multiple rotors provides higher torque for backup operation or startup operation.

12. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the controller controls additional electrical motors to meet driving requirements, and wherein the controller connects additional batteries to provide higher driving force.

13. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the controller may periodically detect electrical power level in each battery, and wherein the battery is charged by one utility power supply, solar, wind power charger mounted on the vehicle, sun heat from inside the vehicle or by wireless remote charging system.

14. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is one of a car, a SUV, a pickup, a train, a boat, a ship, a yacht, a marine equipment, a submarine, an airplane, a helicopter, a bus, a truck, a snowmobile, an ATV, a RV, a tractor, a motorcycle, a scooter, a three wheel vehicle, a off-highway construction mobile machinery, a bicycle, a bike, a mowing machine; and wherein the vehicle is a police car including a racing engine to provide higher moving speed.

15. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the battery is formed from an array of batteries; wherein the battery is interior to the electric vehicle.

16. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the mechanical moving energy converted into electricity and charge back to the battery when slowing down the vehicle; wherein using reversing electrical motor force with high frequency on/off to replace the traditional mechanical ABS system in the vehicle.

17. An electric vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the controller converts vehicle vertical vibration into electricity by using an electrical coil mounted on the wheel system of the vehicle, to cut the flux lines of magnetic field that are mounted on the body of a vehicle.
