  Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) BEVs are also known as All-Electric Vehicles (AEV). Electric Vehicles using BEV technology run entirely on a battery-powered electric drivetrain. The electricity used to drive the vehicle is stored in a large battery pack which can be charged by plugging into the electricity grid. The charged battery pack then provides power to one or more electric motors to run the electric car. To find out more about BEVs, click below. Main Components of BEV-- Electric motor, Inverter, Battery, Control Module, Drive train Working Principles of BEV-- The power for the electric motor is converted from the DC Battery to AC. As the accelerator is pressed, a signal is sent to the controller. The controller adjusts the speed of the vehicle by changing the frequency of the AC power from the inverter to the motor. The motor then connects and leads to the turning of wheels through a cog. If the brakes are pressed, or the electric car is decelerating, the motor ...

  Electric vehicles have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline-powered cars, no matter where your electricity comes from .                                        The electricity that charges and fuels battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles comes from power grids, which rely on a range of sources — from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy .                                            Energy grids can vary from one state to another, which means that the carbon footprint of driving an electric vehicle ranges depending on the source of its electricity.     ...

    Some of the common myths are busted here for you --                            Fact- -  Electric vehicles are more economical when you take fuel and maintenance costs. Every new technology follows an economic path where the initial upfront price is higher. This reaches a maximum and then decreases when people adopt this technology commonly. Electric vehicles are the same, but the higher price points are quickly changing as the costs go down. To help with high initial costs, many subsidies and incentives are offered by the government. The contribution to reduced life-cycle costs comes from the lower operation and maintenance costs as electric vehicles have fewer moving parts and less wear and tear. It takes too long to charge Fact--  Cars spend over 90% of the time parked. You can plug in your car in this downtime at home to charge it. ...

  bENEFITS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES Transport is a fundamental requirement of modern life, but the traditional combustion engine is quickly becoming outdated. Petrol or diesel vehicles are highly polluting and are being quickly replaced by fully electric vehicles. Fully electric vehicles (EV) have zero tailpipe emissions and are much better for the environment. The electric vehicle revolution is here, and you can be part of it. Will your next vehicle be an electric one ? Lower running costs The running cost of an electric vehicle is much lower than an equivalent petrol or diesel vehicle. Electric vehicles use electricity to charge their batteries instead of using fossil fuels like petrol or diesel. Electric vehicles are more efficient, and that combined with the electricity cost means that charging an electric vehicle is cheaper than filling petrol or diesel for your travel requirements. Using renewable energy sources can make the use of electric vehicles more eco-friendly. The e...

  TYPES OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES There are four types of electric vehicles available-- Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)-- Fully powered by electricity. These are more efficient compared to hybrid and plug-in hybrids. Hybrid Electric Vehicle-- Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)-- The vehicle uses both the internal combustion (usually petrol) engine and the battery-powered motor power train. The petrol engine is used both to drive and charge when the battery is empty. These vehicles are not as efficient as fully electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)-- Uses both an internal combustion engine and a battery charged from an external socket (they have a plug). This means the vehicle’s battery can be charged with electricity rather than the engine. PHEVs are more efficient than HEVs but less efficient than BEVs. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV )-- Electric energy is produced from chemical energy. For example, a hydrogen FCEV . System Architecture ...
