Only the electric motor
provides propulsion to the
wheels.
Driven in high-load conditions
(e.g., when accelerating, going
uphill):
●
The Electric Motor provides
propulsion to the wheels.
●
The gasoline engine drives the
generator, supplying
electricity to the electric
motor for added propulsion
or to the High Voltage battery
for charging.
Driven in high-speed, low-load
conditions:
●
The gasoline engine provides
propulsion to the wheels.
●
The High Voltage battery
supplies electricity to the
electric motor for added
propulsion.
●
The electric motor provides
electricity to the High Voltage
battery through regenerative
braking.
The accelerator pedal is released
and the vehicle is decelerating.
●
The electric motor provides
electricity to the High Voltage
battery through regenerative
braking.
