Hybrid Vehicles

To avoid repeating earlier details, I’ll provide an overview of hybrid vehicle types, their working principle, and some practical considerations.  Overview of Hybrid Vehicles Hybrid vehicles combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor and battery to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions compared to traditional ICE vehicles. They use both gasoline/diesel and electric power, with energy management optimized for performance and economy. Types of Hybrid Vehicles Full Hybrids (Parallel/Series Hybrids): Can operate on electric power alone (short distances), ICE alone, or both. Examples : Toyota Prius, Honda Accord Hybrid. How it works: Electric motor assists ICE during acceleration; vehicle switches to electric mode at low speeds or during coasting. Mild Hybrids : Electric motor provides limited assistance to ICE (e.g., during acceleration) but cannot drive the vehicle on electric power alone. Examples: Honda CR-V Hybrid (some versions), Ram 1500 eTorque. B...

Electric Vehicles Batteries

The electric vehicle is a vehicle that runs on electricity alone. Such a vehicle does not contain an internal combustion engine like the other conventional vehicles.   What is the Battery? Batteries are an assortment of at least one electrochemical cell, utilized as a wellspring of power. A battery comprises 3 parts anode, cathode, and an electrolyte of some sort. Power is delivered in a battery through a substance response. At the point when anode and cathode are associated through a circuit, a synthetic response happens and makes electrons course through the circuit. In view of the re-energize limit batteries can be separated into two sorts. Essential sort and optional sort. Essential batteries are ones that can not be re-energized and must be tossed out once consumed, though auxiliary batteries can be charged and reused. Batteries utilized in our TV controllers are an illustration of essential batteries, while batteries utilized in workstations or Electric Vehicles are an illus...

Electric Vehicles - Revolution in Automobile Industries

The electric vehicle is a vehicle that runs on electricity alone. Such a vehicle does not contain an  internal combustion engine  like the other conventional vehicles. Instead, it employs an electric motor to run the wheels. These vehicles are becoming very popular nowadays. They are considered to be a promising solution for future transportation. The most common example is  Tesla . Main components of an Electric Vehicle (EV): The main components of an electric vehicle system are as below: Components of Electric Vehicle (Courtesy-Toyota) Electric Battery: Battery stores the electricity required to run the vehicle. The battery supplies an electric current to the motor. And thus, the vehicle runs. The higher the capacity of the battery the higher is the range of the electric vehicle. Most modern electric vehicles use Lithium-ion type batteries. These batteries have a higher energy density. It means they are capable of storing more energy. Inverter: battery stores the elec...
