Saab 9-3 ePower Concept 2010

Create a public appearance in 2010 Paris Motor Show Saab 9-3 ePower prototype of a fleet of 70 vehicles took part in extensive field trials in Sweden in early 2010 to test. Saab 9-3 Concept ePower is an all-electric cars first resident comfort and size of the wagon body styles are offered. Saab engineers have the power of architecture in the shape and dimensions of the “conventional” built Saab 9-3 SportCombi.

Under the hood is a 135 kW/184 hp electric motor driving the front wheels via a single transmission rate. Instant torque of zero to 100 km / h acceleration of just 8.5 seconds with a top speed of 150 km / h

9-3 ePower projected range of about 200 kilometers pushing the limits of current EV performance. The key to business success in the long term energy storage density battery cells is much greater than the best current EV applications. contribute to high energy density battery weight is lower.

This battery has a capacity of 35.5 kW / h and is designed for full strength at room temperature to -30 º C working, at least 10 ° C below the operating system level of the other battery on the market. Another important advantage is the use of air instead of liquid cooling, reduce costs and efficiently contribute to the design of heavy backpacks.
