NTU scientists find way to help electric cars drive further on single charge
Mr Satheesh Kumar, a research scholar at NTU's Energy Research Institute (Eri@n), came up with the design for a 2-in-1 electric motor that can boost an electric vehicle's range by 15 to 20 per cent. -- PHOTO: ST FILE
Scientists in Singapore have found a way to reduce an electric car driver's worst fear: being stranded without power or a socket in sight.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) scientists came up with an award-winning, 2-in-1 electric motor that can boost an electric vehicle's range by 15 to 20 per cent.
The invention, a collaboration with the German Aerospace Centre, combines the vehicle's electric motor and air-conditioning compressor, which are traditionally two separate units.
This opens up space in the vehicle for manufacturers to add an auxiliary battery.
