What would be the gain at idle speed, which I'm assuming is around ~700 RPM (correct me if I'm wrong). Because if you turn off ESS you'll be at idle speed off a start, am I right?
Sure you could do that and they do, but it’s not integral to achieving that specific , you could just do that with a better high amperage alternator and then localized inverters or step transformer/converters for a lot less money and weight. Now it does mean more storage than even a big deep-cycle 12V usually, but it’s also more expensive.
Sure, it can provide longer power to support systems, etc, but there are other ways of doing that to, the primary benefit is to the BSG itself, but since it’s required for that anyways, then might as well use it for other resources, so yes they do that too.
Yes, max torque is based on the number for a Cold Start (as would be the case for ESS) and also at the BSG itself. At idle speed then the efficacy is reduced, so the impact is less. And you add belt losses to that too, so the actual assist/boost number is usually nowhere near device Max.
It’s essentially a property of electric motors, so yes, all Hybrids would act this way at some level, the difference would be the Starting ( called STALL) Torque and No Torque (called No Load) Speed and then the liner curve between the two, maximum power output is usually achieved somewhere in the middle.
Yeah, and also perfect for that and for the 1/4-1/2 second delay for ESS to kick-in so you don’t die trying to make a turn into traffic etc.
260 lbs/ft of torque is very 1990s. Almost every six cylinder engine available was making that level of torque 20 years ago. The fact that after using the 3.8L V6 for 25 years, Jeep decided to replace it with one that only makes 20 lb/ft more is laughable.
Semantics.
