dc.description.abstractThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is interested in improving the efficiency of electric vehicles by integrating a hydraulic launch system with the electric components. Electric vehicles have an efficiency drop from 90% to 60% during acceleration which leads to low battery life. By adding a hydraulic launch system to the Xebra during the acceleration phase, the batteries of this electric vehicle will not be burdened during acceleration and overall efficiency and range of the vehicle will be improved. This project will span several semesters, with the focus of this term on the layout and installation of the hydraulic system onto the Xebra.en_US
