What are the types of Electric Vehicles?

Image
  There are three types of   electric vehicles   categorized by the amount or degree that electricity is used as a source of power. HEVs Hybrid Electric Vehicles PHEVs Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles BEVs/AEVs Battery Electric Vehicles/All-Electric Vehicles   HEVs Hybrid Electric Vehicles The hybrid electric vehicle has both a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric-powered propulsion system. HEVs use both petrol and electricity as power, HEVs startup using electric motor then the petrol engine takes over as the speed rises. In this the batteries are charged by its regenerative braking system, this system is a mechanism that recovers the energy by slowing down a moving vehicle, which converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is stored in batteries or supercapacitors, or the energy is directly used by the motor in some vehicles. Both the Internal combustion engine and electric motor are controlled by computer software which ensures the best fuel econom

Do Electric Vehicle Runs on AC or DC?

  The electric motor works on the interaction between the motor’s magnetic field and electric current. Which can be powered by a direct current (DC) source or by an alternating current (AC) source. Type of Current an Electric Vehicle Use We all know that an electric vehicle generally has an onboard rechargeable storage unit. Typically a lithium-ion battery that works as a source of power for an electric motor that brings the vehicle in motion. The electric vehicle mainly depends on batteries and motor used in it. An electric vehicle generally comes with lithium-ion batteries which allow electricity to store in chemical form. Lithium-ion batteries have high power density, high energy density, and long life span as compared with others. Motor EV is something that converts electrical energy from the batteries to mechanical energy. The motor transfers this mechanical energy to the wheels of electric vehicles and turns them through cogwheel. But what motor does an electric vehicle use. Moto

How Does an Electric Car Works?

  An all-electric vehicle in India or an EV has rechargeable electrical energy storage on-board that works as a source of energy. For the electric motor, which moves or drives the vehicle. It does not have any conventional internal combustion (IC) engine that burns fuel or gas for the propulsion of the vehicle. An EV does not burn any fuel for propulsion thus it does not have any tailpipe exhaust. An electric vehicle in India can be charged using a charging unit called EV chargers plugged into an external source of electric power. You can charge your EV using a slandered 120v outlet at home. You can also charge your EV at a dedicated charging station that will charge a vehicle faster than a home charger. While you are outdoors by paying some extra then that cost you charging at home. EV vehicles in India also use a regenerative braking system, which generates electricity by slowing down the vehicle when applied brake. The energy generated from the regenerative braking system is either
