BEV / FCEV modeling

Cost and iovation should be balanced, this is the designer should do, but there are many from the harsh engineering and cost constraints of excellent design, to add some shackles of iovation, sometimes not a bad thing, but cattle B designers To balance. The former should also see who the shoulders, standing "a Thai" on the shoulder, may be less stable for the design.
In several ways, can not only consider the technical aspects of factors. There is a so far Tesla, Volt, Karma and other NEV still follow the traditional body structure of the important reasons: regulationswholesale auto parts.
Obviously, BEV / FCEV in the shape of the degrees of freedom will be much higher than the fuel vehicle. We can look at Tesla's footwall: you can see, powertrain, batteries are basically covered in the "chassis" above. This is more similar to the characteristics of the early non-bearing body age, body sculpting, you can play more creative space. In a few years ago, GM had such a concept: the body and the chassis completely separated, the shell can be used according to their own free replacement. At the recent CES, Faraday Future also gave the BEV powertrain viewcar tuning store:
The battery pack can be freely extended and the motor position can be freely adjusted. This is the BEV to give designers the freedom of the layout.
However, from the actual development, because the entire automotive system to build the current use of the traditional body structure has been for decades, the accumulation of experience in this extremely rich, and completely out of this framework, all depot, all designers Lack of relevant experienceauto replacement parts. This is why many people seem to make "Wow" concept car can only stay in the model phase of the reasons.
