In 1880 Trouvé improved the efficiency of a small electric motor developed by Siemens (from a design purchased from Johann Kravogl in 1867) and using the recently developed rechargeable battery, fitted it to an English James Starley tricycle, so inventing the world’s first electric vehicle. The battery packs are comprised of arrays of prismatic lithium-ion cells. The Detroit ePowertrain can be mated to one of three battery options for the eCascadia and eM2: a 210 kWh version, a 315 kWh version and a 475 kWh version. The single-motor design is rated at 180 horsepower, and delivers maximum torque of up to 11,500 lb-ft, while the dual-motor design offers up to 360 hp and 23,000 lb-ft. Initially, the Detroit ePowertrain will offer an eAxle design operating at 400 volts, and will be offered in two variants suitable for a variety of commercial vehicle applications.
