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...
