Introduction Electric cars are automobiles, which are powered by the electric engine and electric energy. The development of the electric vehicles is a very perspective and important process. EVs, are vehicles that are powered by an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine.
History of the Electric Vehicle The history of the electric vehicle began in the mid 19 th century. 1832: Robert Anderson invents a non-rechargeable electric carriage. 1835: Thomas Davenport builds the first practical electric vehicle.
Components Motor Controller Charger DC/DC Converter Batteries
Motor Generally the brushless DC motor is used. Simpler to maintain, more durable, smaller. 85% - 90% more efficient. Able to self-start.
Controller Control the BLDC motor. Increase efficiency, reliability and extended battery life time.
Charger It contains a plug that connects electric vehicle batteries to an electrical source, providing the batteries with electrical energy.
DC/DC Converter Recharges the battery through DC Converter. The Iota DLS-55 is the most Iota DLS-55 common option.
Batteries for the EV The batteries that are used for electric cars are rechargeable. Most of today's all-electric vehicles use ”lithium-ion batteries”.
EV layout
Advantages Reduce dependences on oil and gasoline. Pollutants and noise free. Recyclable batteries. No fire hazards. Low maintenance and operation cost.
Disadvantages High price, Tesla model costs around $50,000. High recharge time. Silence may be fatal. Range lies between 25-30 miles only.
Conclusion With this, We come to following facts that number of expected vehicles doubling on the roads in the near future the need for this alternative energy is very evident and has promising returns. Important to produce vehicles that do less, have a longer range, and use less energy. Lower our toxic emissions and localize green house effects. Increase the overall energy efficiency of cars.
