Modular electric vehicle has base modules, which are movable over electric drive, energy storage and electronic control unit in free manner, where one base module is formed in form of passenger module

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a modular electric vehicle system composed of detachable base modules. One module is designed for carrying passengers, while another is designed for carrying luggage. Each module is independently movable using its own electric drive, energy storage, and control unit. The modules can be freely combined (e.g., passenger + luggage module or multiple passenger modules) to customize the vehicle for different transportation needs. An onboard computer provides real-time information such as remaining battery range, route options, and driver profiles.

Patent Abstract

The modular electric vehicle has integrated sensors, where two detachably connected base modules (1) are provided, which are movable over an electric drive, an energy storage and an electronic control unit in a free manner. One base module is formed in the form of a passenger module (P) and another base module is formed in the form of a luggage module, where the passenger module is combined with an additional passenger module or with the luggage module. A screen (14) of an onboard computer is provided to display remaining distance according to available energy, routes and driver profile.
