Weight of vehicle Type of vehicle, ex. car, truck Aerodynamics of vehicle Weather conditions Terrain of driving Driving behaviors Types of Electric Vehicles There are 3 main types of Electric Vehicles designed for different driving needs: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) BEVs run 100% on electrici...
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) What is a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)? A Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), sometimes known as an All-Electric Vehicle (AEV), is a vehicle that is driven by a battery and an electric drive train. These EVs do not...
Comparative Study of Natural Gas Vehicle vs Electric Vehicle in TransportationSatapathy, Sh. S. S.Srivastava, SandeepTurkish Online Journal of Qualitative Inquiry
With gas prices at an all-time high, there’s never been a better time to think about buying an electric vehicle. However, one of the biggest questions prospective EV owners have remains: “How easy are they to charge up?” I’ve gone through the process myself, most recently in Hyunda...
An FCEV uses a similar system as a Battery Electric Vehicle to run the vehicle. In the case of an FCEV, the energy is stored as hydrogen and then converted into electricity by the fuel cell to propel the vehicle. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles have a gas tank used to store the pure ...
This study investigates the impact of electric vehicle development on China's greenhouse gas emissions and fossil energy consumption from a life cycle perspective. Based on vehicle technology and China's energy development plan, the potential for energy conservation and greenhouse gas emissions reduction...
from a hybrid vehicle lies in the fact that an ER-EV, is equipped with a small ICE that allows the recharge of the battery to extend the driving range. In some applications, it is also possible to have a fuel cell generator. The drawback is an increase of the weight of the vehicle....
Since the gas engine only produces power for the electric motor to utilize and never directly propels the wheels, series hybrids are also known as Extended-Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs) or Range-Extended Electric Vehicles (REEVs). 2. Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle ...
DC chargers provide higher power charging (which requires much larger AC-to-DC converters) by building the converter into the charging station instead of the vehicle to avoid size and weight restrictions. The station then directly supplies DC power to the vehicle, bypassing the onboard converter....
If an electric car can save you $10,000 on gas, that’s a pretty strong financial incentive to going electric—assuming, of course, that you have enough power to get everywhere you want to go with an electric vehicle. Obstacle 2: Battery Life The second biggest hindrance to electric vehic...
