Faraday Future Charts a New Path to Simpler PHEVs with a Multi-Shaft Hybrid
Faraday Future has patented a concept transmission called the Range-Extending Hybrid Transmission System that uses a multi-clutch, multi-shaft setup to let the engine and electric motor in a PHEV operate concurrently or independently, aiming to simplify hardware and improve range; however the idea remains a proof-of-concept, with questions about space, real-world viability, and prototypes years away.
