Abstract
An electric vehicle assembly circuit connected to a battery of an electric vehicle for charging the vehicle batteries during operation and thereby increasing the distance the vehicle is able to travel between battery charges. The vehicle batteries are divided into first, second, third and fourth sets of batteries. The electric vehicle assembly circuit includes a first processor connected to the first set of batteries, a first controller connected to receive power from said first processor and an alternator. A device is connected between the first controller and the alternator for driving the alternator. A second controller is connected to the alternator for charging the second and third sets of batteries during operation of the vehicle. A first converter connected to said alternator for providing a constant charge to the first set of batteries. A first relay is positioned between the first converter and the lights and horn of the vehicle for providing a constant power to the lights and horn. A second relay connects said first converter and a propulsion system of the vehicle providing power to the propulsion system during operation. An AC charger receives power from an external source for charging the first, second, third and fourth sets of batteries and a third relay disconnects the propulsion system from the first converter when the AC charger is receiving power from an external source.
