Leading the ambulance industry with sustainable, fuel-efficient electric vehicles.
AEV has partnered with Lightning eMotors, a provider of premium commercial electric vehicle power trains, to build our Type II battery electric ambulance.
The power train components, including batteries and power electronics, are proven with on-road validation, with the electric motors providing industry-leading power and torque performance. Utilizing this battery electric chassis conversion, AEV completes the ambulance per the customer’s order requirements.
Power Train
- Utilizes a three-phase permanent magnet electric traction motor
Electric Motor
- Fewer moving parts, leading to fewer required preventative maintenance tasks and lower overall service costs versus internal combustion engines
Batteries
- Uses precision active thermal management to control battery temperatures, delivering improved performance, safety and longer battery life
Charging
- Direct Current fast charging at up to 80 kWh (DCFC) allows 80% charging in as few as 45 minutes3
- More readily available Alternating Current charging can accept
up to 13.2 kW
charging rate
- Industry-standard
SAE J1772 CCS1 combo charging connector
Regenerative Braking
- Electric vehicles
capture energy, using regenerative braking, where the electric motor acts as a generator to slow the vehicle and recharge the batteries
- Reduces brake wear
- Offered on Ford T350 Transit, High Roof, Extended Length and Dual Rear Wheels minimum 10,360# GVWR
- Affords increased interior headroom and overall space for crews to provide better patient care
- Powered by Lightning eMotors power train, a million-mile proven EV technology
- No gas or diesel required, battery electric operation
- Great for operating in air quality-controlled areas—no tailpipe emissions
- 100- to 140-mile range1
- Software-limited 65 mph maximum speed
- Peak motor power from 215 HP/Peak torque range of 733 lb-ft2
- 80 kWh battery capacity
- Level II Alternating Current charging or Direct Current fast charging
- All onboard equipment reliably powered by Lightning’s high voltage battery systems
- Lightning eMotor’s 5-year, 60,000-mile warranty on power train components including batteries
- All commercially available Lightning power trains are CARB certified
