Sim-Lei a prototype electric car with a range of 333 km

Achieving more than a year of development SIM-Drive, together with 34 partners of the project has just revealed the performance of its prototype called Sim-LEI.

The project’s objective was to achieve high energy efficiency to reach 300 kilometers on one charge.

The prototype has exceeded targets with 333 km as the cycle of JC-08 (Japanese standard) based on a relatively small 24.5 kWh battery (same size as the Nissan sheet that offers a range of 175 km ), while the performances are set the standard for a compact electric car 150kph top speed and especially from 0 to 100 km / h takes 4.8 seconds!

This technical performance was achieved thanks to the SIM electric drive motors attached to the wheels, but also thanks to a monocoque body, tires with low rolling resistance and aerodynamically optimized …

Energy consumption is very low 77Wh/km (equivalent to a consumption of 1.4 l/100 km).
The team hopes to put the car in mass production in 2013.
