ELECTRIC VEHICLES
By: Ali Tariq BBA-6 (022)
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
A CAR THAT RUNS PURELY ON ELECTRICITY
HOW DO THEY WORK ?
Use electricity not petrol Energy comes from a power outlet via a cord to the car Energy stored in a battery Energy powers the electric motor, moving the car.
EVS COMPARED TO NORMAL VEHICLES
WHAT DOES AN EV LOOK AND SOUND LIKE?
Looks
like a normal car
Sounds
silent when running as has less moving parts
ARE EVS BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?
Helps to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions
Produce no carbon emissions when
powered using renewable energy
ADVANTAGES
Cheaper to run because electricity is cheaper than
petrol Better for the environment Reduce noise pollution Less environmental impacts across their life-cycle (manufacturing, use and disposal)
DRAWBACKS
Currently more expensive than normal cars Not many places to charge your car Can only travel 100-160km between charges Charging can take hours Silent operation potentially dangerous for pedestrians
LETS DISCUSS
Why do you think more people arent driving EVs?
WHAT IS A HYBRID VEHICLE ?
The combination of an internal combustion engine (ICE) with
one or more electric motor/generators and a battery pack.
An HEV uses less gasoline because the electric motor does some
of the work.
HISTORY
1997 First modern HEV introduced in Japan: Toyota Prius 1999 First modern HEV sold in U.S.: Honda Insight
COMPONENTS OF A HYBRID
Gasoline engine Fuel tank Electric motor Generator Batteries Transmission
PARALLEL HYBRID
Has a fuel tank that supplies gas to the engine like a regular car It also has a set of batteries that run an electric motor Both the engine and electric motor can turn the transmission at the same time.
SERIES HYBRID
The fuel tank goes to the engine, but the engine turns a generator Then the generator can either charge the batteries or power an electric motor that drives the transmission The gasoline engine does not directly power the car
ABOUT HYBRIDS
HEVs offer the efficiency of electricpowered vehicles without having to recharge by using conventional engines and fuels. Efficiencies are gained from motor downsizing and regenerative braking.
FACTORS FOR EFFICIENCY
Three key factors:
Regenerative braking Engine size Vehicle weight & aerodynamic design
CONTI
Engine size = may be smaller than in a conventional
vehicle Engine is sized to accommodate average load not peak load Vehicle weight/aerodynamic design:
Built using special lightweight materials
Uses advanced aerodynamics to reduce drag
ELECTRIC MOTOR ASSIST
Additional Power to assist engine Accelerating, Passing and Hill Climbing. So, allows Smaller and More Efficient Engine to be Used.
AUTOMATIC START/SHUT OFF
Automatically shuts off the engine
when the vehicle comes to a stop and
restarts it when the accelerator is
pressed. This prevents wasted energy
from idling.
HYBRID RELIABILITY
Hybrids have some of the highest safety ratings of all vehicles
High-voltage system contains many safety features Battery charge is computer controlled extends battery life Batteries under warranty for 100,000 miles, is your engine??????
CONTI
The cost of maintenance is reduced due to operation of hybrid technology
Regenerative braking reduces wear on brakes Idle stop extends engine life Electric accessories reduce load on engine
ADVANTAGES
Excellent gas mileage
Fewer tailpipe emissions Lighter batteries than electric vehicles Uses less fuel to recharge batteries
DRAWBACKS
Reduced, but not emission-free Hybrids are partial zero-emission vehicles (PZEVs) they produce zero emissions only when engine is not running More expensive than conventional Vehicle

CONCLUSION
So, the HEVs have more efficiency, Low Fuel Economy, High
Reliability and Less Air Pollution. Optimum Utilization of these
Vehicles will yield in good Results, especially Reduction of
pollution.
Thank you for you patience
