- Electronic Vehicle Control Module (EVCM) (made by Zytek) provides the interface between the powertrain and the rest of the vehicle.
- EVCM integrates powertrain control, by including torque arbitration, temperature control and voltage management to allow better decision making using algorithms.
- Optimises the driver’s torque request based on a broad range of parameters including battery charge and temperature and the grip available at the tyres.
- Provides more with less, improving both the driving experience and the range while reducing the size, weight and cost of the power electronics and battery pack
- Tested under the strict Euro-NCAP safety standards under Gordon Murray’s approval, with results that he claims are “first-class.”
- Survived a EuroNCAP 50kph side impact mobile deformable barrier test with "virtually zero cabin intrusion"
- World's Most Efficient Electric Car,
Smart EV/ED uses 29% more energy/km,
Mitsubishi iMiev uses 36% more energy/km,
Mini-E uses 86% more energy/km.
