Note. Before placing the vehicle in a paint booth, the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) must be removed to avoid heat damage. Refer to HIGH-VOLTAGE TRACTION BATTERY .

The vehicle is principally powered by an internal combustion engine, much like any ordinary vehicle. However, it also transforms the energy that is normally wasted during stop and go operations into electricity, which is stored in the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) until the moment it is needed by the electric motor. The electric motor is used to support the engine when accelerating or doing some uphill driving and in low-speed driving operations. The internal combustion engine will automatically shut off the engine when the vehicle is stopped/idling or when coasting under 30 mph and will restart when the accelerator is depressed or when the electric motor needs assistance. This avoids using excess fuel when the vehicle is not in motion. The vehicle does not need to be plugged into an external source of electricity to be recharged. The energy provided by the engine and the regenerative braking charges the HVTB.

The HVTB utilizes the following components

  1. 12-volt battery
  2. HVTB
  3. Motor generator
  4. DC/DC converter
  5. Regenerative brakes
