Abstract
The vehicle receives batteries comprising cells arranged into at least one pack configured to be held in a vehicle structure, the pack being alternatively chosen from among at least one pack(P) and at least one pack(E) which are mechanically interchangeable and electrically substitutable. The pack(P) cells exhibit a maximum power density substantially higher than the pack(E) cells exhibit, and comprise cells exhibiting an energy density per unit mass substantially less than the pack(E) cells exhibit. The maximum electrical power of the pack(P) corresponds to the maximum electrical power needed to accomplish a first vehicle mission and the energy storage capacity of the pack(P) is at least sufficient to accomplish the first mission. The electrical energy storage capacity of the pack(E) corresponds to the electrical energy storage capacity needed to accomplish a second vehicle mission and the maximum electrical power is at least sufficient to accomplish the second mission.
