Here is a picture of the internal layout of what I take to be the on board charger and the electric motor.

The picture before this one in the set is a very nice closeup of one module from the battery pack. The + and - connections have wires attached, and the more-centered port, probably for monitoring the enclosed cells, is unused in this picture. Note how the module is designed to "nest" closely together as the modules are stacked.
Better look at the motor and transaxle ...EVDRIVER wrote:It appears the motor and transaxle are integrated and the inverter/motor are water cooled as expected. There seems to be some pack components in the front end of the car and after cooling parts, half shafts and the like there should be quite a bit of empty space after accessories. Too bad we won't get the chrome package.
