ELECTRIC VECHICLE
INTRODUCTION:

 An electric car is powered by an electric motor instead of a petrol


engine. The electric motor gets energy from a controller, which
regulates
the amount of power—based on the driver's use of an accelerator
pedal.
Why Electric Vehicle:
 Cheaper to run

Less pollution

Cheaper to maintain

Renewable energy source can be used

Tax and financial benefits

Electric vehicles are easy to drive and quiet


Basic components of a electric vehicle
 Traction Battery Pack

Power Inverter

Controller

Electric Traction Motor

Charger

Transmission

DC/DC Converter

Battery

Thermal System
Cooling

Charge Port
Traction Battery Pack
 The function of the battery in an electric car is as an electrical energy storage system in the form of
direct-current electricity (DC).

 If it gets a signal from the controller, the battery will flow DC electrical energy to the inverter to then
be used to drive the motor. The type of battery used is a rechargeable battery that is arranged in such a
way as to form.

 There are various types of electric car batteries. The most widely used is the type of
lithium-ion batteries
Power Inverter:
 The inverter functions to change the direct current (DC) on the battery into an alternating current (AC) and
then this alternating current is used by an electric motor

 In addition, the inverter on an electric car also has a function to change the AC current when regenerative
braking to DC current and then used to recharge the battery. The type of inverter used in some electric car
models is the bi-directional inverter category
Controller
 The main function of the controller is as a regulator of electrical energy from batteries and inverters that will
be distributed to electric motors.

 While the controller itself gets the main input from the car pedal (which is set by the driver). This pedal
setting will determine the frequency variation or voltage variation that will enter the motor, and at the same
time determine the cars speed.

 In brief, this unit manages the flow of electrical energy delivered by the traction battery, controlling the speed
of the electric traction motor and the torque it produces. This component will determine how electric car
work.
Electric Traction Motor
 Because the controller provides electrical power from the traction battery, the electric traction motors will
work turning the transmission and wheels.
 Some hybrid electric cars use a type of generator-motor that performs the functions of propulsion and
regeneration. In general, the type of electric motor used is the BLDC (brushless DC) motor.
Charger:
 Is a battery charging device. Chargers get electricity from outside sources, such as the utility grid or solar
power plants.

 AC electricity is converted into DC electricity and then stored in the battery. There are 2 types of electric car
chargers:
I. Off-board charger: the charger is not located or not installed in the car.
II. On-board charger: the charger is located and installed in the car

Transmission :

The transmission transfers mechanical power from the electric traction motor to drive the wheels .
DC/DC Converter
• This one of electric car parts that to converts higher-voltage DC power from the traction battery
pack to the lower-voltage DC power needed to run vehicle accessories and recharge the auxiliary
battery.

Battery:
In an electric drive vehicle, the auxiliary battery provides electricity to power vehicle
accessories.
Thermal System – Cooling:
• This system maintains a proper operating temperature range of the engine, electric motor, power
electronics, and other components.

Charge Port:
The charge port allows the vehicle to connect to an external power supply in order

to charge the traction battery pack .


TYPES OF ELECTRIC VECHLES AND WORKING:
 An electric car is a vehicle that is fully or partially propelled by electric motors, using energy
stored in rechargeable batteries. The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880s.
Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Innovation and
advanced development in internal combustion engines (ICE) and mass production of cheaper
gasoline vehicles has led to a decline in the use of electric vehicles.

 Types of Electric Cars:

 Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)


 Hybrid
• Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV)
Types of electric vehicles:

Battery electric vehicle Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)


runs entirely on a battery and electric drive train. In this types of electric cars, internal combustion
engine gets energy from fuel.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle


PHEV is a type of hybrid vehicle that both an ICE Zero Emission Vehicle, are types of electric cars
and a motor, often called as series hybrid. that employ ‘fuel cell technology’ to generate the
electricity.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV):
 A Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), also called All-Electric Vehicle (AEV), runs entirely on a
battery and electric drive train. This types of electric cars do not have an ICE. Electricity is
stored in a large battery pack that is charged by plugging into the electricity grid. The battery
pack, in turn, provides power to one or more electric motors to run the electric car

Working Principles of BEV:


 Power is converted from the DC battery to AC for the electric motor
 The accelerator pedal sends a signal to the controller which adjusts the vehicle’s speed
by changing the frequency of the AC power from the inverter to the motor
 The motor connects and turns the wheels through a cog
 When the brakes are pressed or the electric car is decelerating, the motor becomes an
alternator and produces power, which is sent back to the battery
.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV):
 This type of hybrid cars is often called as standard hybrid or parallel hybrid. HEV has both an ICE
and an electric motor. In this types of electric cars, internal combustion engine gets energy from
fuel (gasoline and others type of fuels), while the motor gets electricity from batteries. The
gasoline engine and electric motor simultaneously rotate the transmission, which drives the
wheels.
Working Principles of HEV
 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
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV):
 PHEV is a type of hybrid vehicle that both an ICE and a motor, often called as series hybrid. This
types of electric cars offers a choice of fuels. This type of electric cars is powered by a
conventional fuel (such as gasoline) or an alternative fuel (such bio-diesel) and by a rechargeable
battery pack. The battery can be charged up with electricity by plugging into an electrical outlet
or electric vehicle charging station (EVCS).

 PHEV typically can run in at least two modes:


 All-electric Mode, in which the motor and battery provide all the car’s energy
 Hybrid Mode, in which both electricity and gasoline are employed .
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV):
 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs), also known as fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) or Zero Emission
Vehicle, are types of electric cars that employ ‘fuel cell technology’ to generate the electricity
required to run the vehicle. In this type of vehicles, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted
directly into electric energy.
 Working Principles of FCEV:
 The working principle of a ‘fuel cell’ electric car is different compared to that of a ‘plug-in’
electric car. This types of electric cars is because the FCEV generates the electricity required to run
this vehicle on the vehicle itself.
DISADVANTAGES OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES:
 Finding a Charging station - EV charging stations are fewer and further between than gas stations.

 Charging takes longer.

 The driving range on a full charge.

 Higher Initial Purchase Cost.

 Replacing the Batteries is Expensive.

 Not Suitable for Cities, Facing Shortage of Power


PURPOSE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEER IN EV’S:
 Design, Develop, and test the tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical devices used in
electric vehicles. Devices may include components of electric vehicles, or machines used in the
manufacture or repair of these vehicles. These engineers may focus on engines, electric motors, or
other mechanical devices, such as transmissions, drive trains, or steering systems. In addition, they
may get involved in packaging the electronic circuits within the EV as well as supporting design
of its internal cables.
