Abstract

An electric vehicle having good range and power is achieved by providing a vehicle having a motor side assembly and a power side assembly. A battery starts or activates a starter. The battery is connected to a direct current motor to start off or begin the engine function by activating a rear alternator. The rear alternator has three phases by using three hot lines, one neutral line, and one ground line. One hot line and the neutral are connected or will go to a transformer to bring the voltage to the correct voltage. From the transformer, the feed goes to an inverter, so the alternating current voltage is changed to a direct current voltage. This structure will feed the direct current motor for a continuous feed.

Claims

1. A vehicle system connectable to a vehicle comprising;

a motor side assembly interconnected with a power side assembly to provide motive power for the vehicle;

a rheostat interconnecting the motor side assembly and the power side assembly;

a direct current motor and a rear alternator being positioned within the power side assembly;

the motor side assembly including a transmission connected to an electric drive motor;

the direct current motor having a first counterweight mounted thereon;

the rear alternator having a second counterweight mounted thereon;

the first counterweight mounted and the second counterweight mounted delaying a slowing down the electric powered vehicle;

a pulley ratio supporting the vehicle system;

the direct current motor having a pulley ratio of two to one relative to the direct current motor;

the transmission being connected to the electric drive motor;

a first set of electric cables connecting the rheostat to the electric drive motor;

a second set of electric cables connecting the power side assembly to the rheostat;

the direct current motor having a motor pulley twice the diameter of a rear alternator pulley on the rear alternator in order to provide power to the electric vehicle system;

a fan belt cooperating to connect and operate the rear alternator pulley, a sub-zero compressor, an alternator, and a passenger cabinet compressor;

a sub-zero air conditioner having the sub-zero compressor and a sub-zero condenser;

a first copper tube connecting the sub-zero compressor to the sub-zero condenser; and

a second copper tube and a third copper tube connecting the sub-zero condenser to the power side assembly in order to cool that part of the vehicle.
