Hybrid BMW 518i


Because of rapid changes in the EV field, information you can view here now will probably be outdated, and external web sites linked from here might have been removed by their respective owners. Initial material here has been put together in 2004; many vehicles are still in service, however manufacturer may change line of products it offers. Currently, as of second half of 2008, Siemens AG no longer produce EV grade power inverters and is concentrating on heavy truck and bus grade hardware. Other supliers keep offereing their hardware and fill the void; hopefully Siemens will reconsider their decision and restart production of EV AC drive systems for passenger cars.
