    Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles

    Electric vehicles (EVs) were first invented in the 1830s but disappeared by 1935. They reemerged in the 1960s-1970s due to environmental concerns with gasoline vehicles. An EV runs on an electric motor powered by a rechargeable battery, while a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) combines a gasoline engine and electric motor. EVs have fewer emissions and higher efficiency than gasoline or HEVs but less range and higher costs due to battery technology. Future improvements to batteries may make EVs more practical and competitive.

    Electric and Hybrid

    Electric Vehicles
    INTRODUCTION
    • Due to the problems caused by the gasoline engine on the
    environment and people, the automotive industry has turned to the
    electrical powered vehicle. This report explains how an electric
    vehicle works and compares the electric vehicle to the internal
    combustion engine and hybrid vehicle. The report provides some
    of the advantages and disadvantages of the electric vehicle. In
    addition, a brief future view of the technology is given
     
    ELECTRIC VEHICLE HISTORY
    • 1832-1839, The first electric vehicle was built in Scotland by Robert Anderson.

    • In 1895, A.L Ryker built an electric tricycle and William Morrison built a six passenger wagon.
    • In 1902, Wood created the Electric Phaeton.

    • By 1935, Electric Vehicles completely disappeared.


    • In 1960s and 1970s, the Electric Vehicles reappeared.
    DISCRIPTION OF AN ELECTRIC
    VEHICLE
    An Electric Vehicle consists of:
    1. An electric motor.
    2. A controller.
    3. A rechargeable battery.
    PARTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
    • Potentiometer
    • Batteries
    • DC controller
    • Motor
    • On-board charging
    • Thermal system(cooling)
    THEORY OF OPERATION
    DISCRIPTION OF HYBRID ELECTRIC
    VEHICLE
    • The hybrid vehicle (HV) is powered by both a
    gasoline engine and electric motor.
    • The hybrid vehicle operates on a gasoline and
    electric energy principle.
    PARTS OF HYBRID ELECTRIC
    VEHICLE
    • Battery
    • Internal combustion engine
    • Generator
    • Power split device
    • Electric Motor
    THEORY OF OPERATION
    COMPARISION OF ICE,HYBRID AND
    ELECTRIC
    INTERNAL HYBRID ELECTRIC ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV)
    COMBUSTION ENGINE VEHICLE(HEV)

    EFFICIENCY 20% 40% 75%


    SPEED 124 mph 110 mph 30-95 mph
    ACCELERATION 0-60mph in 8.2sec 0-60mph in 6-7sec 0-60mph in 4-6 sec
    MILEAGE 300 miles 40-60 100-200 miles
    COST $14,000 to $17,000 $19,000 to $25,000 $6,000 to $ 100,000
    ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
    OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
    Fuel can be harnessed from any source of Limited in the distance that can be driven before
    electricity, which is available in most homes and the complete failure of the battery.
    businesses
    It reduces hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide, Accessories, such as air conditioning and radios
    responsible for many environmental problems, by drain the battery.
    98%
    Also reduces pollution. Heavier car due to the electric motors, batteries,
    chargers, and controllers.

    Does not produce emissions. Important in urban More expensive because of cost of the parts.
    cities, where cleaner air is much needed.
    COMPARISON
    Comparison based on:
    • Emission
    • Global Warming
    • Sickness
    FUTURE OF EV
    CONCLUSION
    • As seen in this presentation, the electric vehicle has many advantages and
    benefits over the internal combustion engine and hybrid vehicle. It is
    cleaner and much more efficient; however, it also has disadvantages. It is
    heavier, limited to the distance it can travel before recharge, and costs
    more. The future of the EV relies on its battery. If researchers can produce
    or find the “super battery”, the EV’s future is promising. As of today, each
    vehicle has its own characteristic that makes it better than the other. Only
    time and technological improvements will tell which vehicle will excel in the
    future.
