Improving battery power to such as level would further enable hybridization to near-HEV levels as well as engine downsizing, thereby enabling fuel economy improvements beyond the current 10-15% MHEV limit. The BISG is connected to a 48 V (nominal battery) and also typically to a 12V powernet via a DC/DC convertor.

With the Generation 3 HEV system, Ford decided to downsize the engine from a 2.5L Atkinson to improve fuel economy. In-house engineering was a key enabler and included all controls, the battery pack, transmission and eDrive system, Gray said. All of that contributes to the overall fuel economy improvement, Gray noted.

Electric vehicle’s cost-effectiveness improved with battery replacement and opportunity charging, but it was not enough to match the conventional platforms. For the electric-powered vehicles, the electricity cost is relatively low, reflecting the low cost of electricity and the high efficiency of batteries and motors.
