Do you have a company name Evolution (proper spelling is e.Volution) does it even say anything? No? Then you are on the same page as us. But perhaps the name of the professor tells you more by Günther Schuh. This is a man standing behind a small car e.Go Life. And he is also behind the company Evolution, which he founded in 2021 and which now represents the model Space, a hydrogen-electric SUV that's meant to last 50 let, as stated by colleagues from Auto Motor Sport.
Space is the second project of the company, which previously presented in June 2022 Meta model, where it was about Shuttle vehicle. These two cars would be the first circular economy vehicles in the world. They must be maintained every five years with the restoration process, which would achieve four times longer lifespan from ordinary cars. Especially battery modules are replaced every five years and are then used as stationary energy storage for solar systems, Evolution says on its website.
To drive the model Space is provided by the range extension system (Range-Extender System), which enables the reach 750 kilometers. As a Range-Extender it is used internal combustion engine, which works on liquid gas, and additional details are unfortunately not provided. Five minutes are enough to refuel (gas) and during this time we pour gas for further ones 600 kilometers. But the car should 85 to 90 percent run on battery power. This one is with 40kWh quite small for such a large car, so the purely battery electric range is only 150 kilometers. This is enough for everyday use, on longer distances or when there is a great need for energy, it turns on Range extender, which then charges the battery or increases the battery output.
The vehicle is driven by two identical electric axles, Evolution however, it does not provide any information about their operation. However, a loaded vehicle weighing 2,8 tons, moved quite dynamically. The axles should be compact so that large angles of rotation are possible. The rear wheels can also be steered for better handling. shoe your model Space describes as a cross between an SUV and a van, but we would rather classify it as an SUV. With impressive height 1,94 meters the vehicle barely fits into most parking garages. In addition to the usual variant with length 4,09 meters there is also a longer version with length 4,92 meters.
The car should be suitable as Shuttle ali commercial vehicle, as well as a car for family holidays. The full-length sunroof can be replaced with solar cells. The back cover can be removed so that The SUV becomes a Pick-up. Interior with five to eight seats it should be very flexible. The longer version has a center aisle, here it is possible to add eight seats in the second row. It is supposed to be in the cockpit, of which there are no photos yet big screen, which also serves as a display of instruments and for the entertainment of passengers.
