the automobile industry is evolving and every major miner and upcoming vehicle
manufacturing company is shifting towards adoption of electric vehicles termed
as evs not all evs we see on the road are fully operated on electricity many of
them are
- Hybrid
- Plug-in hybrids.
generated from a lithium ion battery these type of vehicles do not come with the
traditional combustion engine and thus emit zero carbon monoxide or pollutants
in the atmosphere the range of these vehicles is a bit low as compared to the
other
categories but many manufacturers are coming up...
with the dual batteries giving a double boost to the vehicle's power and range
examples of bevs is tesla model 3 bmw i3 ford focus etc number two hybrid
electric vehicles aka hevs this vehicle features both the conventional
combustion engine and battery-powered electric motor but the battery cannot be
charged by plugging in through an electric input charging station instead it
captures energy while braking and the batteries are charged either the engine
works or the electric motor to drop the car or both can work at the same time to
give the required acceleration mostly the electric motor is used during the low
speed and the combustion engine is used while playing at higher speeds which
gives you the maximum efficiency this type is well suited for people who do not
have the option of charging at their home or the charging infrastructure is not
available nearby examples of hvs are volvo xc90 toyota ps etc number three
plug-in hybrid electric vehicles aka phev now you might have guessed this type
of ev category from its name unlike hybrid vehicles phev's battery can be
charged through a plug-in socket as well as power generated through
braking and the car operates on both combustion engine and the electric
powered motor
benefits of phevs are the ability to cover shorter distance
without
using the combustion engine and increased range from fuel battery
charging and regenerative brakes examples of phevs are bmw i8 toyota prius
prime although electric vehicles are categorized in these three major categories
there are few terms that an ev enthusiast should be aware of such as range
extension type of electric vehicles aka re-x this type of vehicle features both
combustion engine and electric motor but most of the driving is done by the
electric motor
the internal combustion engine is only.
there
to charge the battery if in case it gets slow during a journey
example of re-x is bmw i3 then last but not the least fuel cell electric vehicles
fcevs this type of vehicle stores hydrogen gas in the tank and uses electric
motors like bev a fuel cell combines hydrogen with oxygen present in the air and
generates electricity which powers the electric motor like the bevs it does not
have a tailpipe and the by-product is only water there is no need to plug in as
the fuel cells are recharged by refilling the hydrogen infrastructure is far from
reality as of now which is not the case.
