What are the charging steps for the Cayenne Hybrid?
1 Answers
MHEV-48V mild hybrid vehicle battery packs have extremely low capacity and cannot support pure electric driving, as the mild hybrid system cannot be charged via the power grid. The engine integrates a BSG motor-generator unit, where the motor is connected to the crankshaft end of the generator, and power output must go through the engine crankshaft. The small power output from the BSG motor is largely offset by the resistance of the internal combustion engine, so this system does not have pure electric driving capability.
