US12502946 - Drive system for armored electric vehicles

Embodiments of the invention relate to a drive system for armored electric vehicles and a method for its operation in event of a fire of the traction battery.

This patent describes an armored electric vehicle equipped with a high-voltage battery that can be explosively disconnected in the event of a fire, allowing a combustion engine to take over propulsion. The innovative drive system ensures continued mobility even after the battery is removed from the vehicle.

Claim 1

1 . An armored motor vehicle with electric drive, comprising: a high-voltage battery for the energy supply of the electric drive, being removably connected by explosive connection elements to the motor vehicle, and a combustion engine which is adapted to start and assure propulsion of the motor vehicle upon separation of the high-voltage battery from the motor vehicle. a high-voltage battery for the energy supply of the electric drive, being removably connected by explosive connection elements to the motor vehicle, and a combustion engine which is adapted to start and assure propulsion of the motor vehicle upon separation of the high-voltage battery from the motor vehicle.
