Course Description

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a type of transportation that uses one or more electric motors for propulsion, relying on electric energy stored in batteries or another energy storage device. The development and adoption of electric vehicles are driven by a desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease dependence on traditional fossil fuels, and promote sustainable transportation solutions. Here are some key aspects of electric vehicles.

Types of Electric Vehicles

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)

Components of Electric Vehicles

Electric traction motor

Using power from the traction battery pack, this motor drives the vehicle's wheels. Some vehicles use motor generators that perform both the drive and regeneration functions.

Battery (all-electric auxiliary)

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.

DC/DC converter

This device 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.

Onboard charger

Takes the incoming AC electricity supplied via the charge port and converts it to DC power for charging the traction battery. It also communicates with the charging equipment and monitors battery characteristics such as voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge while charging the pack.

Traction battery pack

Stores electricity for use by the electric traction motor.

Transmission (electric)

The transmission transfers mechanical power from the electric traction motor to drive the wheels.

Advantages of Electric Vehicles

Environmental Benefits

Electric vehicles produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, especially when charged with electricity from renewable sources.

Reduced Dependence on Fossil Fuels

Electric vehicles decrease reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to energy independence and security.

Lower Operating Costs

Electric vehicles generally have lower operating costs per mile compared to traditional vehicles, mainly due to the lower cost of electricity compared to gasoline.
