electric vehicle glossary - energy storage devices
Electric vehicles: Electric vehicles are also called BEV.
This is a vehicle that is fully or primarily powered by a battery or battery pack.
You charge the battery and drive.
No gasoline engine or hydrogen fuel cell can start up and provide more power when the battery is out of oil.
No tailpipes and no emissions.
EREV: some automakers say cars that run a distance on electric motors and battery power supplies are "remote electric vehicles" before the internal combustion engine starts generating electricity ".
"GM uses this term to describe its voltage, but others in the industry refer to this vehicle as a hybrid.
Hybrid: Hybrid electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles are any vehicle that can draw propulsion energy from the following combinations
Vehicle Energy: Fuel consumption (
For internal combustion engines or fuel cells)
And energy storage devices such as batteries, capacitors or freewheels.
KWh: kWh-
Hours are the measure of electric energy. Batteries (
And battery pack)
The battery capacity used by electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles is kWh, because it represents the distance the car is driving only on electricity.
At 1 KW, there is always enough energy to drive a four to five-mile car.
Level 1 charge: charge from a typical wall socket, usually 110-or 120-volt outlet.
Electric cars charge 5 to 6 miles an hour.
Level 2 charging: from 220-or 240-volt outlet.
This is much faster than a normal wall socket because it absorbs more current at a higher voltage.
Most electric car owners install a secondary charging system at home.
According to the number of amps in the circuit, electric vehicles can get a range of 10 to 60 miles per hour.
Level 3 charging: also known as DC fast charging, this is a dedicated high
A voltage system that can charge the battery pack in about 30 minutes.
It requires a special port on the electric vehicle and a special charging station that has not been widely used so far. Off-
Peak charging: when the power demand is low, the battery pack is usually charged at night.
This can reduce the cost of fees.
Parallel hybrid: a vehicle that works together with an electric motor and an internal combustion engine to provide a driving power supply. Plug-
In a hybrid car: The vehicle has a battery pack that powers the motor and can be charged through a power outlet.
Once the battery runs out, the car will also have an internal combustion engine to expand the range of the vehicle.
The extended range can be run by an internal combustion engine that powers the wheels, or by an engine that generates electricity to run an electric motor in the car.
Partial zero-emission vehicles: also known as a car, it has some kind of technology, such as an electric motor, which allows the car to travel for at least a period of time without discharge.
They meet certain emission limits from the California Air Resources Board and are subject to 15-year, 150,000-
Mile warranty for emissions systems.
Range anxiety: worry about not having enough power in the battery to reach your destination.
Series Hybrid vehicles: a vehicle that delivers power only from an electric motor to a drive wheel, but uses an internal combustion engine to provide power to a battery or motor. ZEV: A zero-
Discharge vehicles.
This means that there are no contaminants in its tail tube.
These vehicles include electric cars and fuel.
Generally eligible for other benefits such as government sales incentives and carpooling lane permits.
