Although the electric car is cool, if you have a deep understanding of it, or experience it, you will certainly spit its endurance. According to conventional logic, it is more difficult to achieve ideal endurance on a larger electric bus.
However, it is not.
According to foreign media reports, Proterra, a maker of electric vehicles in the Silicon Valley of the United States, introduced a brand-named Catalyst E2 electric bus. What is special about this product is that it has a battery capacity of 440-660kWh, and it takes only 3.5-5 hours to fully charge, and the theoretical driving distance is 350 miles (about 563km) after full charge, which can meet the driving demand of the day.
Sources also pointed out that in last month's road test in Michigan, the single travel distance of the Catalyst E2 even reached 600 miles (about 966 kilometers). What kind of concept is this? In contrast to Tesla's current top-of-the-range Model S, this EV has a distance of only 315 miles after full charge, and the battery life of the Catalyst E2 is far beyond the level of Tesla.
It is understood that the Catalyst E2 series is a 40-seat electric bus and is expected to debut this Monday at the annual meeting of the American Public Transport Association. Proterra said that this electric bus will be put into use in California. After being put into use, it can save users 30% of the cost each year.
Ryan Popple, CEO of Proterra, said: “The question now is no longer who is the early adopter of this technology, but who will be the last company to stick to a clean, efficient and sustainable future. Catalyst E2 can replace All buses using fossil fuels, battery electric vehicles have now broken the last obstacle and will be widely used in the market."
Proterra was founded in 2004. The company mainly researches and develops new energy vehicles, such as Catalyst, the first-generation electric bus launched last year . However, this model's endurance performance is normal. After a full charge, it travels 258 miles (about 415 miles). Km).
In addition, Proterra has also accumulated a certain amount of fast charging technology. A fast-charge technology patent that Proterra applied for in July this year shows that the high-voltage over-the-air charging system uses machine control technology and installs the autopilot software in the bus. It takes only 10 minutes to fill the 100kWh capacity battery. The Bitsla Supercharger also Be 3-4 times faster.
