What Are The Types Of Electric Vehicles?

Types of electric vehicles include: pure electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), both of which use electric motors to drive wheels, power batteries (excluding lead-acid batteries) and external charging sockets. Fuel cell vehicles (FCEV) are also a type of electric vehicle, which use electric energy to drive the vehicle.
1. Pure Electric Vehicles:
Pure electric vehicles are powered by rechargeable batteries (such as lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries or lithium-ion batteries) and driven by electric motors. Its power system is mainly composed of a power battery and a drive motor. Electric energy is obtained by taking power from the grid or replacing the battery.
2. Hybrid Cars:
The word hybrid comes from Greek and its original meaning is "two sources or mixed sources". In the automotive industry, it is defined as a vehicle equipped with two drive types (energy types) and two buds. Different vehicle manufacturers are usually based on a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, with a fuel tank and a battery as energy source. The main advantage of a hybrid powertrain with both drive types is low fuel consumption, while the electric motor supports the internal combustion engine in all unfavorable operating ranges. In addition, the power characteristic curves of older electric machines and internal combustion engines can be well complemented, since the higher torque of the electric machine can optimally complement the smaller torque of the internal combustion engine. Since the electric motor can function as both a starter and a generator, the starter and generator are eliminated. In addition, brake energy recovery systems can play an active role in reducing brake wear.
3. Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCEV):
A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) is a vehicle powered by electricity generated by an on-board fuel cell device. Using hydrogen as fuel, in the fuel cell, it reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to generate electrical energy to drive the motor. The electric motor drives the mechanical transmission structure in the car, and then drives the related mechanical structures at the front or rear axle of the car to work, thereby driving the electric car forward.
