METHOD OF OPERATING ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND ELECTRIC MOTOR VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B60L15/20 B60W10/02 B60W40/105 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a method of operating an electric vehicle and a connected electric vehicle comprising at least one electrical machine as a traction motor and a control element for selecting a function of movement by inertia. At that, when the driver selects the function of inertia motion, under the specified conditions, there is an automatic transition to the inertial motion mode, in which neither the drive moment nor the moment of resistance is transmitted to the vehicle wheels. Specified conditions include: accelerator pedal located in neutral position and current speed of vehicle having preset value or exceeding it. At the same time under the specified conditions there is an automatic transition to the inertial motion mode due to the fact that the transmission of the vehicle is brought into a state in which the said at least one electric machine does not consume electric energy.

EFFECT: higher range of electric vehicle movement is achieved, including due to reduced consumption of electricity during movement by inertia.
