Are New Energy Vehicles Automatic or Manual?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles are predominantly automatic transmission. Below is relevant information: 1. Structure of new energy vehicles: The structure of new energy vehicles differs from that of fuel-powered vehicles. Taking pure electric vehicles as an example, they rely on the 'three-electric' system (battery, motor, and electronic control) as the power source. Structurally, there is no transmission system like in traditional vehicles. According to the working principle of pure electric vehicles, the power is generated by the battery supplying electricity to the motor, which drives the vehicle's movement. 2. Drive motor of new energy vehicles: From the structural characteristics of the drive motor, the motor's speed range and torque output are controlled by the current magnitude during operation. It can adapt to all speed ranges under varying current and voltage conditions. This means that acceleration and deceleration are not achieved through a transmission for power conversion. Therefore, from this perspective, there is no need for manual physical intervention in the vehicle's transmission to achieve speed changes. As a result, pure electric new energy vehicles only come with automatic transmission models.
