ECU Shop is a company in Thailand that specializes in building drag sports cars for its clients, including Toyota Thailand and Honda Thailand. The company transforms ordinary cars into sports cars, similar to the Toyota Hilux drag car, using a 275 drag radius.
Today, electric vehicles are already in circulation, and almost all car manufacturers want their own version. In Thailand, ECU Shop developed a fully electric Honda Civic EG hatchback. It produces 250 horsepower and 440TQ through the use of a sequential transmission. However, this vehicle is not just a fully electric car. It is also a drag race performer. Let’s look at the comprehensive details of the Honda Civic EV.
Honda Civic EV, the Performer
Three universal EV engines power the Honda Civic EV. ECU Shop mounted the engines together using a CNC machine and a plate. The engine uses a chain to drive a transmission. Quave manufactures the five-speed sequential transmission. It delivers 250 horsepower and 440 foot-pounds of torque to the front wheels.
The Honda Civic EV also has a 7.2 KW onboard charger. The pedal’s operation restores the battery’s charge by generating electricity. When you press the pedal less, the system charges less. However, when you press it harder, the system charges more. The system cancels this function when the battery reaches a full charge. Therefore, it prevents overcharging.
Unlike other EVs, the Honda Civic EV features a sequential transmission and weighs the same as a standard car. It is also faster than other EG Hatchbacks because of its 440 foot-pounds of torque at the wheels. The ECU Shop’s VCU controls the overall system. ECU Shop also created the VCU specifically for this vehicle.
The Honda Civic EV resembles a typical vintage Honda car. It features a blue paint finish, black lining, and a black section on the engine cover.
To operate this Honda Civic EV, engage the clutch and shift into second gear. The torque allows you to accelerate in second gear. However, exercise caution if you are not an experienced driver. The torque at the wheels makes this race car a true electric race car.
Inside the Honda Civic EV, the engine produces a small whirring noise. The car uses a washing-machine-like motor to power the Civic EG Hatchback. As a result, the car has a unique engine sound that sets it apart from other German-made cars.
To me, it feels like a GoPro. It feels like a fast, futuristic car that offers a unique experience when you’re inside.
The Honda Civic EV features a transparent fiberglass engine cover. This cover showcases the impressive integration of the three engines. The car’s right side houses the charging port. It works similarly to a standard gas engine operating on AC 220 volts.
The dashboard displays the power output, kilometers per hour, and RPM. All of these features connect to a VCM. Some people may make disparaging remarks about EV cars. However, this type of electric car represents what future generations may drive.
Future generations will design this electric car engine with aesthetics in mind.
