Many cars manufactors, whether small or large, are starting to adapt from using desiel engine or gasoline engine only come to develop electirc batteries and engine for a better performance. Although desiel and gasoline engine are still being produced, but the direction of electric vehicle is also growing.
Electric Vehicle is a vehicle that is powered by an electric motor instead of using a combustion engine. EV cars use power from electricity instead of using oil, water or other energy sources. The electric train system stores energy in rechargeable batteries. and convert energy from the battery to be used to drive the vehicle. Incidentally, EV cars do not require any mechanical mechanisms to drive like gasoline-powered cars. which requires the use of combustion ignition to drive Make the engine quiet And there is no exhaust gas from energy combustion.
It is a vehicle that use electric mortor instead of combustion engines. For easier the vehicle uses electricle energy instead of oil or other kind of energy
Electric cars can be divided into several types according to their names and the group of energy used in driving. Since the use of only fuel Until using only electrical systems to drive. And there are also Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) which are powered by hydrogen and is expected to enter the market within the next few days. Currently, EV cars can be divided into 3 types according to technology:
1. Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is a car that uses a combination of energy. general fuel and electrical energy from batteries. This type of car has a lower fuel consumption rate than a car that uses only an engine. Because when the car brakes are stepped on some of the energy is stored in the battery. And the stored energy can later be used to drive an electric motor along with the operation of a fuel-powered engine.
2. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) This type of car has a system. fuel and the same electrical system as a hybrid car. But it can be plugged in to charge from outside or plug-in, so when plugged in to charge, the car can run a greater distance than the traditional hybrid system and batteries used. It can also be charged additionally to store charge as needed. And when the battery is depleted, the vehicle behaves similarly to a hybrid system (HEV).
3. Electric vehicles that use only electrical energy sources to drive (Plug-in Electric Vehicles: PEVs). This type of electric vehicle is similar to a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), only it has a large battery. which is the only main source of energy When the battery is depleted, it must be plugged in to recharge. Can be separated according to the use of this type of electric car as follows:
