TECHNICAL FIELD

The field generally relates to electric mobility and more particularly to a customizable electric vehicle and a method of transporting a variable load by the customizable electric vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art.

In the automobile sector, a number of technologies have been developed over a period of time to produce environment-friendly vehicles. An electric vehicle is such a vehicle that is not only environment-friendly but also provides a number of benefits over existing fuel vehicles. For instance, electric vehicles are low maintenance vehicles where fuel vehicles need to add up the fluid transmission, coolant, and engine oil; there are no such requirements in electric vehicles. Also, electric vehicles are non-polluting and reliable in terms of performance.

Although electric vehicles have a number of advantages and technical advancements over fuel vehicles, there are a number of limitations of such electric vehicles. In order to overcome some of the limitations of the electric vehicles, a number of solutions are developed over a period of time. Some of the existing technologies provide a solution to optimize an operation of a power source of an electric vehicle, where the power source is comprised of a first battery pack (e.g., a non-metal-air battery pack) and a second battery pack (e.g., a metal-air battery pack). In said solutions the power source is optimized to minimize use of the least efficient battery pack (e.g., the second battery pack) while ensuring that the electric vehicle has sufficient power to traverse an expected travel distance before a next battery charging cycle. Also, some other known technologies provide a rechargeable split battery system, where a battery system is split into first and second battery subsystems. When the first battery subsystem reaches a first discharge level, the first battery system is decoupled from output terminals of the battery system and the second battery subsystem is coupled to the output terminals of the battery system. Therefore, in an event, using said solution an electric vehicle can switch a battery to provide sufficient reserve power to get the electric vehicle safely back to a recharging station without stranding the vehicle operator. The currently known solutions are therefore focused on enhancing the battery systems of the electric vehicles and fail to provide a customized electric vehicle that can transport a variable load.

More particularly, the existing electric vehicles have a fixed configuration of weight, volume and distance range that can be covered before a next battery charging cycle. This means the current electric vehicle models are tailor-made for particular customer needs. Furthermore, from a fleet operator’s point-of-view, electric vehicle purchase decisions are tradeoffs between the needs of their customer, customer contracts, the cost of the electric vehicles and return on investment (ROI). Also, from the customer point-of-view, there are tradeoffs between the uncertainties of actual load and the fleet owners’ utilizations etc. Currently, there are no solutions that can overcome these above stated limitations. Therefore, there remains a need to provide a customized electric vehicle that can transport a variable load, in order to at least find a solution for these tradeoffs and achieve an optimum and deterministic value creation for each of these stakeholders.

Also, in the given implementation, the fixed battery pack (i.e. the battery capacity) is proportional to the capacity of said at least one customizable payload compartment. Therefore, in the given implementation at least the motor and battery system of the at least one customizable payload compartment is tailor made depending on the configuration (i.e., the volume and weight) of the at least one customizable payload compartment.

Therefore, each of the pilot cabin [102] and the at least one customizable payload compartment of the one or more customizable payload compartments [104] comprises corresponding independent set of systems that overcomes the limitations of the prior known solutions at least by introducing flexibility & modularity in the electric vehicle configurations. More particularly, the arrangement of: the splitting/detaching the one or more customizable payload compartments [104] and the pilot cabin [102], and the independent set of systems of the payload compartment(s) [104] and the pilot cabin [102], provides a technical advancement of attaching with the pilot cabin [102] the one or more customizable payload compartments [104] of any capacity.
