EDI's technologies and patent portfolio include fundamental concepts and optimized energy management systems for hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and continuously variable transmissions (CVT) for hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV). In addition to providing substantial improvements in vehicle fuel efficiency, EDI's technologies also provides increased vehicle performance.

EDI's architectures can also be integrated with the conventional electric energy grid and renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, celluloustic ethanol/BioDiesel, facilitating the transition toward energy sustainability and away from oil, but with no change in our current and foreseeable future energy infrastructure.

Features:
  • PHEVs use grid (wall) power to fully recharge batteries instead of expensive and polluting gasoline
  • PHEVs run on batteries alone for some distance and then use gasoline to maintain battery levels
  • Most commuters will be able to run in battery only mode for their daily driving - NO gasoline required. Average drivers can easily attain well over 100 miles per gallon today.
  • "Charge depleting" PHEVs are more economical and cleaner than "charge sustaining" PHEVs
  • PHEVs become even more efficient when combined with a continuously variable transmission (CVT)
  • EDI's power optimization software applications and algorithms provide the most efficient method for managing hybrid vehicle architectures—gas, electrical, hydrogen, and CVT power combinations.
