About that clutch-slip mechanism: It seems it works as torque converter at low speed, can lock-up at higher speed, but can also be switched back to "TC-mode" at higher speed for more torque and that "kick-down feeling". | |

The third "E-Machine" on the front of the ICE provides a generator source for the batteries, provides extra torque for the ICE when needed, plus is probably used as a starter for the ICE. All three "E-Machines" can be used for regenerative braking. I'm wondering about the "clutch-slip mechanism" and whether it's actually a torque converter ... but it may just be mumbo-jumbo talk for sales purposes. If it is a TC, it can use a lock-up just like any other TC to stave off power losses at speed. | |
