Amusing Fact About EV

• Indian Industry is observing a wave of Electric Vehicles. We are the 5th


largest Automobile Industry in the world and are ready to conquer more by 2030.
• India is ranked 13th among the 20 most polluted cities in the world. To change this,
we must make use of electric vehicles
• Electric vehicles are environmentally friendly. They don’t release harmful gases or
smoke into the air, which helps to reduce pollution and fight global warming.

What is an Electric Vehicle?


• A car that is powered by electricity is referred to as an “electric vehicle,” and
this definition is much broader than you might imagine.
• The term “EV” refers to an electric vehicle. EVs are automobiles that run
entirely or primarily on electricity.
• A fully EV is one without a gasoline or diesel engine. When you put an electric
car in ‘drive,’ it accelerates just like an automatic vehicle. Electric and hybrid
vehicles lack gears.
• They power an electric motor, which rotates the wheels, by storing the
electricity in a rechargeable battery.
• Electricity or renewable energy is used to power electric vehicles. This is one
of the most important advantages of Electric Vehicle. They don’t produce any
emissions or exhale any dangerous gases. As a result, they are
environmentally friendly vehicles that contribute to the reduction of ever-
increasing air pollution.
• Electric cars have low operating costs because they have fewer moving parts
to repair, and they are also extremely environmentally friendly because they
use little or no fossil fuels (petrol or diesel).
• Even though some EVs use lead acid or nickel metal hydride batteries,
lithium-ion batteries are now thought to be the standard for
contemporary battery electric cars because of their superior durability and
exceptional ability to store energy, with a self-discharge rate of just 5 percent.
• Compared to an ICE vehicle, an electric vehicle is approximately 3 times more
efficient. Using less energy to power your vehicle also helps to reduce costs.

Components of an Electric Vehicle

Battery (all-electric auxiliary):

The auxiliary battery powers the vehicle’s accessories when it has an electric drive.

Charge port:

To charge the traction battery pack, the vehicle can attach to a charging cable using
the charge port.

DC/DC converter:

The DC/DC converter, which is used to operate the vehicle’s accessories and
recharge the auxiliary battery, converts higher-voltage DC power from the traction
battery pack into lower-voltage DC power.
Electric traction motor:

The wheels of the vehicle are propelled by an electric traction motor, which draws
energy from the traction battery pack. Motor generators that are both drives and
regenerators are used by some automobiles.

The traction battery is charged using the onboard charger, which transforms
incoming AC power from the charge port into DC power.

Onboard charger

To charge the traction battery, the onboard charger converts incoming AC power
from the charge port to DC power.

Additionally, while the pack is being charged, it keeps track of battery characteristics
like the voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge by communicating with the
charging apparatus.

Power electronics controller:

Controlling the electric traction motor’s speed and torque, the power electronics
controller regulates the flow of electrical energy supplied by the traction battery.

Thermal system (cooling):

This system maintains a safe operating temperature range for the engine, electric
motor, power electronics, and other parts.

Traction battery pack:

Electricity is stored in the traction battery pack, which the traction motor will use.

Electric Transmission:

The electric traction motor drives the wheels by transferring mechanical energy
through the transmission.
Working Principles of BEV

For the electric motor, power is converted from the DC battery to AC.

The accelerator pedal sends a signal to the controller, which changes the frequency
of the AC power from the inverter to the motor to adjust the vehicle’s speed.

The motor is coupled to and rotates the wheels through a cog.

When the brakes are applied or the electric vehicle is decelerating, the motor
transforms into an alternator and generates power, which is then returned to the
battery.

Advantages of Electric Vehicles


Low Cost of Maintenance

Because they have fewer moving parts than internal combustion vehicles, electric
cars require very little maintenance. Compared to conventional petrol or diesel
vehicles, electric vehicles require less maintenance. They store the electricity in
rechargeable batteries and use them to power an electric motor that turns the
wheels.

As a result, the annual cost of operating an electric vehicle is very low.

Electric vehicles are quieter than conventional vehicles because of their lower noise
emissions.

Electric cars are simple to operate and quiet.

Electric cars are very convenient to drive and don’t have gears. Only the accelerator,
brake, and steering are controlled. Simply plug your vehicle into a home or public
charger to charge it. Electric vehicles are quieter than conventional vehicles because
of their lower noise emissions.
Free of Noise Pollution

As there is no engine under the hood, electric vehicles can operate in silence. A
silent vehicle has no engine. The electric motor operates so quietly that you have to
look into your instrument panel to see if it is turned on. To make EVs safe for
pedestrians because they are so silent, manufacturers have to add fake sounds to
them.

Disadvantages of Electric Vehicles


Although the benefits have become abundantly clear, there are some drawbacks that
each person should take into account before deciding to make an electric car their
next significant investment. These factors include:

Recharge Stations

The development of electric fueling stations is still in its early stages. If you’re on a
long trip or decide to visit family in a rural or suburban area and run out of charge, it
might be harder to find a charging station. This is because not many places you visit
daily will have electric fueling stations for your vehicle. You may be stranded.

Energy Isn’t Free

If you don’t carefully weigh your options, electric cars may also be an inconvenience
for your energy bill. If you haven’t done your homework on the electric vehicle you
want to buy, you might be making a bad investment.

Extended Recharge Period

While filling up your gasoline-powered car only takes a few minutes, fully charging an
electric vehicle can take up to a day.
Typically 2 seats

The majority of electric vehicles on the market today are small and only seat two
people. They are not intended for the whole family, and adding a third person can
make the trip a little uncomfortable for the other two travelers.
