Brilliance EV Concept

Chinese automaker Brilliance is showing off a new concept electric car that’s currently on display at the Shanghai Motor Show. A large battery pack using lithium ion technology is reportedly capable of providing a range of around 93 miles.
The Chinese automaker claims that this battery can be hooked to a 220V charger that can use a “Quick Charge” feature to replenish the pack to about 80 percent in just 30 minutes.Driving the rear wheels is a 47kW permanent magnet electric motor that puts out about 90 lb-ft of torque and is capable of revving to 10,000 RPM. But wait, there’s more! A second electric motor powers the front wheels at speeds of around 25 miles per hour for city use. Top speed with both motors engaged is around 80 mph.
On the exterior front, this new EV concept may be vaguely inspired by the VW Space Up! concept from a few years back, but we don’t think it’s particularly egregious. Dual power-operated clamshell-ish doors allow access into an interior cabin that rather well done in clean-looking white materials. In typical showcar fashion, a fully electronic dash sits behind a yoke-style steering wheel.
