Vehicle:- 2000 Model Honda HRV AWD with Manual Gearbox
This Page written by Mark Allen
I have an idea to convert a Honda HRV AWD manual Vehicle to rear wheel electric leaving the front wheel drive intact including the motor as it normally only uses front wheel drive till you loose traction (AWD is Hydraulically activated, so easy to disable) so I will remove the rear drive shaft, shorten it then attach the electric motor to its diff. The diff has a low ratio of about 4.5 to 1 perfect for the AC55 In electric mode, petrol motor off and in neutral, electric motor driving the rear wheels only. The vehicle has plenty of room and clearance underneath the rear to accommodate the electric motor, batteries, charger and controller, it would be a sort of hybrid drive up to 60 to 100ks on battery then turn on the petrol motor to go longer distances but retain the regenerative braking of the electric motor to recharge the batteries a bit.
Motor Azure Dynamics/Solectria AC55 3-Phase AC
The Azure Dynamics AC55 with DMOC445 Drive System features the Azure AC55 motor mounted in an axial design. This single motor directly drives the differential, typically via a short driveshaft. Because of the direct drive layout, the drive unit fits into the area formerly occupied by the traditional drive shaft of delivery vans, trucks, etc, making vehicle conversions fast and easy.
Applications & Features
In battery-EV applications, the AC55 and DMOC445 drives are designed for use in vans, trucks and buses weighing from 5,000 to 11,000 lbs. The motor is of a low-speed design for a typical 3-5:1 overall vehicle drive ratio.
• AC induction motor
• Air-cooled
• High-efficiency brushless design
• Compact, lightweight construction
• Low rotating losses
• Low electrical resistance
• Cost effectiveness and high reliability
• Because its used in conjunction with an Azure DMOC motor controller, the AC55 can function as an “electronic transmission,” eliminating the need for a multi-speed gearbox in some applications, directly driving the vehicle’s wheels The Honda HRV Petrol motor is very light all alloy around 100kg I can lift one. It will power the vehicle driving the front wheels after the batteries get down to 80% The electric motor will drive the rear wheels of the vehicle for the first 100 miles or so The whole car weighs 1150kg and it has a load capacity of around 600kg so weight won't be a problem its an SUV remember and I can still drive it around while I convert it with a lot less work involved the only thing that has to be made is the tail shaft every thing else just bolts on or is wired together, once the electric motor is mounted I'll just drive the HRV around to a Tail shaft specialist and get them to fit a custom made one no problem.
Controller Azure Dynamics/Solectria DMOC445

DC/DC Converter Azure Dynamics/Solectria DCDC750BC12: 200-400V Input, 13.5V Output
The Azure Dynamics battery charging DC-DC converter will accept a maximum input voltage range of 200 to 400 volts (V), and provides a continuous 750 watt (W) 13.5VDC output to your 12V battery and 12V systems. This unit must be used with a 12V battery
Applications & Features
In addition to all of the qualities of the conventional line of Azure’s DC-DC converters, the battery charging DC-DC converter has these added capabilities:
• The battery charging DC-DC converter charges and maintains the 12V battery while powering the vehicle’s 12V accessory system
• The battery charging DC-DC converter can adjust its current output to accommodate the charging requirements of the battery
• Unlike standard converters, the battery charging DC-DC converter can operate in parallel with another battery charging converter to handle systems with higher power load demands
• The battery charging DC-DC converter has a thermal management system to protect the unit from damage due to excessive operating temperatures Instrumentation Volt & Amp meter
Top Speed 75 MPH (120 KPH)
Electric 75 mph or petrol 105 mph or both ?
Acceleration 0 to 60 in 6sec
Range 80 Miles (128 Kilometers)
80 miles electric 500 miles petrol Watt Hours/Mile 20 Wh/Mile
EV Miles Start: 64,000 Miles (102,976 Kilometers) Current: 64,000 Miles (102,976 Kilometers) Total: 0 Miles (0 Kilometers)
Seating Capacity 5 Adults Curb Weight 3,000 Pounds (1,363 Kilograms)
Taking petrol motor, radiator, exhaust & fuel tank out would only save around 150kg in weight so why not keep it!. Tires 16' x 70 x 215 Conversion Time 12 months, Conversion Cost $20.000. Additional Features Petrol motor for long range but electric mode will proberbly be used 95% of the time.
The idea in a Nutshell <<< Convert an AWD Vehicle into a Supa Hybrid <<< Electric Powered <<<
I have an idea to convert a Honda HRV to rear wheel electric leaving the front wheel drive intact including the motor as it normally only uses front wheel drive till you loose traction (AWD is Hydraulically activated so easy to disable) so I will remove the rear drive shaft shorten it then attach the electric motor to its diff. the Diff has a low ratio of about 4.5 to 1 and is perfect for an AC55 In electric mode petrol motor off, and in neutral electric motor driving the rear wheels only. Petrol motor for long range but electric mode will proberly be used 95% of the time.
Hydraulically activated rear differential clutch will allow it to free wheel in petrol mode to save fuel and not spin the electric motor over but can be locked for regenerative braking.
It has plenty of room and clearance underneath the rear to accommodate the electric motor batteries, charger and controller, It would be a sort of hybrid drive up to 60 to 100ks on battery then turn on the petrol motor to go longer distances but retain the regenerative braking of the electric motor to recharge the batteries a bit.

The only thing that has to be made is the tail shaft every thing else just bolts on or is wired together once the electric motor is mounted I'll just drive the HRV around to a Tail shaft specialist and get them to fit a custom made one problem solved.
