new(jbeamData) (factory)

  • Description: Creates a new battery object.

  • JBeam Properties:

    • batteryCapacity: Total energy (kWh).
    • startingCapacity: Initial charge (kWh).

  • Returns: storage

Methods (on object)

  • Electric Motor: The primary consumer of battery energy.

Sequential Gearbox Shift Logic

Shift logic for sequential manual transmissions. Gear changes are made one step at a time (up or down) via paddle shifters or a sequential lever. Supports flat-shift (upshift without lifting throttle) and auto-blip downshifts.

Energy Storage Components

The `energyStorage/` directory contains definitions for various physical energy containers used by the vehicle.
