Alpha Motor Corporation plans to equip its vehicles with high quality lithium-ion batteries to achieve an average of 250 miles from a fully charged battery pack across the vehicle line up.

Alpha vehicles are planned with a battery warranty that lasts for a minimum of eight years or up to 100,000 miles.

At the end of this cycle, electric vehicle batteries are estimated to retain 50% to 70% of their original capacity and are still usable. These batteries can be recycled and or repurposed for potentially 10 more years of use depending on the application.

Our 350-400V battery for the Wolf electric truck ranges between 250 - 350+ miles for the single motor RWD and dual motor AWD. Alpha’s electric vehicle development in relation to battery technology is moving towards reducing space and material weight while increasing energy density to extend performance. The battery location is determined by engineering factors such weight distribution, center of gravity, interior volume, and cargo capacity amongst others to enable functional advantages in comparison to a gas-powered car. The number of battery modules and positioning of such modules within the battery pack are dependent on vehicle driving performance targets which sets spatial requirements for thermal management amongst other influential factors which leads to the overall vehicle footprint, and overall wheel diameter.

Alpha Motor vehicle battery packs are planned to be composed of 6 to 8 modules depending on cell energy density. The optimal location for battery integration within a fully electric powered vehicle to date is located between the front and rear axles which is defined by the length of the wheelbase. For this purpose, Alpha Motor vehicle platforms are organized into two categories, (1) utility vehicles and (2) passenger vehicles. Due to the battery being the heaviest component within the vehicle, the location of the battery determines the vehicle’s center of gravity at which drivability is distinguished by two different ride heights and/or ground clearances. Utility vehicles are built to drive at an elevated ride height whereas passenger vehicles are constructed with a lower center of gravity.

Alpha is engineered to be compatible with J1772 Level 2 Charging, CCS Fast Charging, and depending on adaptability of a converter, charging via NACS may also be compatible. Alpha’s EVs are engineered to be ISO 15118 compatible with bi-directional charging capabilities.

The WOLF truck is planned to adopt charging with a standard Level 2 charger, estimating 10-20mile of range per hour.

In addition to Level 2 charging, Level 3 DC fast charging is projected to charge up to 80% capacity in 30 minutes to an hour.

The cost of charging will vary upon driving duration and cost of electricity relative to location.

The average cost of charging is around $1.18 per 50 miles of travel. Fuel Cost is on average 60% less for EVs, equating to an annual savings of up to US$1,300. Mile Range Efficiency is on average 285% greater in an EV when compared to an ICE vehicle, equating to 217 more MPGe. Refueling is reduced to an average of 6 times per year at home, which is 34 less trips to the gas station. An EV with a range of 250 miles covers 92 percent of a typical customers annual driving needs with home charging.

Alpha Motor Vehicles are planned to be equipped with charging solutions that are standardized across the product line and compatible to the various global AC/DC charging solutions currently available.

It is the company’s goal to work towards a common charge port for all markets.
