electric motors produces peak or majority of it's torque from the start and is able to maintain it through it's rev range...  this means you get to move off from standstill say a traffic light or pulling out of a corner fairly easy with the electric motor assistance... it provides torque to launch the car forwards where the petrol engine is lacking during move off...

i don't think our insights or hybrids are capable of that sort of power outputs whether they can hold it through the entire rev range or not...

idiot tahap max.. hybrid where got tax la

OK, they have flat('ish) torque... with load, electric motors will generate an almost fixed amount of torque depending on the current being fed into it ... so, it depends if the manufacturer will vary the current being fed into the motor to control the power output...

and yet the idiot never say why i am a moron.. who is bashing who now?

[B]since most of the jap high performance hybrid also very expensive in malaysia due to high CC tax[/B]

Budget 2011 made it 100% exemption for BOTH import duty and excise duty. The deal, for hybrid cars with 2.0 litre engines and below,

what 2.0 liter hybrid in msia?

please show...

please show...

please show...

ok you make your point for existence of hybrid with above 2.0l in msia... you have my apologize for missing the word CC in your statement..

but what is the selling price before tax of 30% + 75%? (there is always sales tax of 10%)

just test drive preve n booked one today. in my opinion, if the car is well taken care of, then is no problem. the only thing i feel not good is the initial torque is very slow one unlike the honda i drive. overall its a decent car. too bad cannot change the interrior to leather seat or what ever

or wait for SE surely comes with leather seats.
Why u all so rushing buy preve..
Those who had no choice to lain la.. but if in no rush, just wait for the SE ler.

lol took me almost a year of research before book my forte lor..i was skeptical about kia after the spectra thingy..

you see the torque decreasing due to the increasing output speed (this is exactly what your article says)... same applies to an internal combustion motor... as you increase output speed, the torque will also decrease assuming a simillar amount input is fed to the motor through out the range...

"The graph above shows a torque/speed curve of a typical D.C. motor. Note that torque is inversely proportioal to the speed of the output shaft. In other words, there is a tradeoff between how much torque a motor delivers, and how fast the output shaft spins. Motor characteristics are frequently given as two points on this graph:"

my point previously was that and i admitted for using the wrong word that electrical motors have a more linear torque curve compared to a petrol motor... and as long as a load exists, and constant power is sent to the motor, it should provide same torque rating throughout... it is back to how they vary the current fed to the electric motor to adjust the torque output....

this has nothing to do with engineering studies.. it is general knowledge as this are things you come in contact with in daily life...
