12 Apr 2013|2,705 views


The new Berlingo Electric incorporates the latest electric vehicle technology. Its advanced, permanent magnet synchronous 49kW electric motor and 22.5kWh lithium-ion battery pack give the Berlingo Electric (as tested in accordance with the New European Driving Cycle) a range of up to 170km. Top speed is attainable at a respectable 110km/h.
Using a domestic socket, the vehicle can be fully charged in around 12 hours. Alternatively, it can be charged to 80 percent of capacity in only 35 minutes using a specific 380V three-phase terminal in quick-charge mode. Thanks to the Berlingo being designed to be an electric vehicle from the outset, its load compartment space is not reduced by battery intrusion.
The Berlingo Electric has a total lithium-ion battery capacity of 22.5kWh - made up of 80 x 3.75V cells. Its permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, which produces 49kW (66bhp) and a peak torque of 200Nm that's developed between 0 - 1,500rpm, drives the front wheels through a speed reducer and a single-ratio gearbox. In energy recovery phases (deceleration & braking) the electric motor acts as a generator.
The Berlingo Electric's instrumentation also includes a number of specific features, including Eco-driving information, an energy consumption/regeneration indicator, an instantaneous energy consumption gauge and an auxiliaries consumption gauge, which displays data on heating, air conditioning and other secondary power usage.
