Those engines with 1000cc displacement which is much bigger than the ev motor and with all the engine components weighs lesser than 75kgs, so EV motor may not be as compact as it seems. There can be mini 50hp+ single cylinder gasoline engines for the same weight as a 15hp ev motor, and wouldn't be any bigger or space consuming either.

Scaling limit in EVs isn't the motor or it's weight, it's the batteries.

But the weight of EVs is something that only car enthusiats really care about anyway. Most people don't know or care about a car's weight as long as it drives alright. The more important factor is cost, batteries are still very expensive and if a new superior battery technology comes out it's unlikely it'll be cheaper at least until several years into production.

[@elitenoob2141]

Honestly I hope the concept picks up on other electric cars or gets patented/outsourced bcs one of those units would be enough for a cheap small car in terms of power. We can also factor in the idea that they could be pretty energy efficient if limited to around 30% power. My dad's car is like 2 years old and doesn't have over 150hp.

[@elitenoob2141]

An ensemble of more similar self sufficient parts working together would be made out of units. A normal engine's parts are nothing more than it's parts. A propulsion system that uses 4 similar engines that could work standalone basically has 4 units. You can use it interchangeably for any system that uses more of the same piece/subsystem in an array of some kind

[@hoagieman26]

So a Jeep 4.0L I-6 makes maybe 100hp to the wheels. Wouldn't sandwiching a motor smaller than 330hp, say just 100-150hp (or torque), between ICE & gearbox be a cost effective solution to add power&efficiency in existing cars?

[@grasonicus]

Electrical motors are already more than 90% efficient; so no big gains possible there.

[@pq9727]

Here's an idea, perhaps with the torque converter removed this motor might fit in the bell housing of my classic V8 thus keeping the engine. Under bonnet it would still look original but with the economy of electric for every day use. The best I ever got from the V8 was 12 mpg

[@hoagieman26]

I have been thinking the same thing about my Jeep. Keep the old inline 6, turn it into a hybrid with an electric motor sandwiched between the ICE and Gearbox. Just to think the 190hp 4.0 gets barely 100hp to the wheels, just a little extra power is more than enough.

You don’t need a transmission, just a differential with a final drive ratio that works for your top speed of choice. Batteries and motor esc, or motor controller system. Once you’ve got that it’s all about packaging and charging. I can’t remember if it’s AEM or someone else but I know someone’s more notable company has already made standalone units that can control the Tesla control units that control the Tesla motors. So if they can be adapted to run a Tesla motor by bypassing their over the air updates and locked out system, then they could definitely run this motor and you’d have a fully functioning car with as many electronic add ins as you want or need. Power windows, locks, power steering, headlights, indicators, taillights, accessories etc. The possibilities are endless. You can choose any car essentially and decide to go electric and it would be a huge amount of fun thanks to how tiny this power plant is but also remarkably powerful for its compact size.

Especially if one takes account energy density of the battery pack versus gasoline energy density stored in fossil fuel while also considering the weight of gasoline once you fill up the tank. Which one actually weighs more and which one would win this competition compared to horsepower and torque output.
