The Elect'Road is a plug-in series hybrid version of Renault's popular Kangoo. Sales began in Europe in 2003, mainly in France,〔(Forum Auto (September 17, 2004) )〕 Norway and a few in the UK. The Elect'Road was sold alongside Renault's Electri'cité electric-drive Kangoo battery electric van. Renault discontinued the Elect'Road after selling about 500, primarily in France, Norway and the UK, for about €25,000.〔Renault (December 27, 2007) ("Kangoo reinvents the electric car" ) (PDF) press release〕 The Elect'Road had a range using a nickel-cadmium battery pack and a liquid-cooled gasoline "range-extender" engine. Although the Elect'road had a range extender it is effectively the very first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). In hybrid terms it operates in a blended mode, using engine and battery power simultaneously.〔Dragon Jambala (October 30, 2007) ("Plug-in hybrid" )〕 Passenger compartment heat is powered by the battery pack as well as an auxiliary coolant circuit that is heated by the range extender engine. ==Motor== The synchronous motor does not require brush replacement (e.g. as in the Citroën Berlingo Electrique) and therefore reduces required maintenance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elect'road」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
