Beta - Vivace REEV

WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY PART OF THIS MOD IN ANY OF YOUR OWN PROJECTS WITHOUT PERMISSION!
Note: since v3.0, this mod requires the ArkFz Hybrid Core mod to work properly!

Range Extender EV version of the Vivace.

Vivace REEV is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with a small gasoline engine that only acts as a generator to charge the battery.

With a 20kWh battery, Vivace REEV can drive up to 110km electric range*. It is also equipped with a high efficiency 1.5-litre turbocharged gasoline engine as the range extender with a 45-litre fuel tank. When paired with the range extension system, which can produce up to 3.52kWh/liter, the combined range is over 1000km*.

Vivace REEV is purely driven by its powerful electric motors, ensuring both performance and smoothness. Vivace REEV AWD is equipped with a dual-motor, intelligent, all-wheel drive system with maximum power of 425 kW and maximum torque of 674 Nm, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. RWD models are also able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds.

The Vivace REEV is a great choice for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint but still need the flexibility of a gasoline engine.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Nick Xu for his invaluable assistance in the development and debugging, especially the Energy Monitor section.

终于有增程混动的模组了，但是为什么低soc的情况下增程器不起机，是我没设置好么，有安装混动模组。期待你的dmi混动。

  电池完全亏电的情况下是无法启动，因为增程器取消了传统的启动电机，依赖发电机反向启动，这样能更快进入高效工作区间省油。

I really like it. We have a few hybrid mods out there - but regenerative braking is too strong! When I barely let off the throttle pedal, it starts to brake so much that the wheels lock! I think it's a bug or mis-adjustment

  Thanks for supporting! The rear motor's too high regen torque is a mis-adjustment. This problem has been solved in v3.0.1. I've uploaded the fix and now it is waiting for approval.

好评，1.5t增程器+双电机，熟悉的味道。不过更新版本之后会出现动能回收转用刹车时抱死的现象，重踩刹车时也会抱死。

  感谢您的评价！检查了一下，抱死是因为后电机的动能回收扭矩过大导致的，今天晚上就能更新修复！

A long awaited mod! I`ve got a suggestion.
Could you make the generator be more dependent on he throttle input as well as wheel speed. It would be cool if in the "RE" mode the engine would accelerate up to 4500 rpm or so (closer to peak power) when you floor it also with the "engineThrottle" increasing to 1.0 (right now its ether 0 or 0.7).
This way the generator would try to keep up with the increased discharge rate of the battery.
There could be an intermediate power level for when the throttle input is 0.5 <= and < 0.8 as well.
I was messing with your code a bit but couldn`t make this function to work(

  Thanks for you suggestion!
  Vivace REEV's range extender is designed to run under the most efficient working conditions to provide electric power. Higher engine speed will worsen both the fuel efficiency and the NVH.
  The range extender can keep the SOC even Vivace REEV AWD's speed is higher than 140kph, which is enough for users to go the speed limit of almost all the freeways/highways worldwide.
  When throttle> 0.8 and speed is lower than 100kph, Vivace REEV is in kick-down mode. The engine will boost to provide more electric power to the motors since the battery itself may not be able to provide enough power output. Throttle < 0.8 means that Vivace REEV is in normal driving condition, the battery power output is enough and NVH is taken consideration.

Are you Chinese? I'd like you to implement 'BYD's PHEV car.

  Yep, I'm Chinese. BYD's PHEV has been on my plan. However, since there's a Parallel Hybrid Mode in BYD's DM systems, it is a big job to implement all the function in BeamNG. Please wait for my later work!
