Can Pure Electric Vehicles Be Equipped with Auxiliary Battery Packs?
1 Answers
Pure electric vehicles can be equipped with auxiliary battery packs if there is sufficient space, but it requires two batteries of the same capacity. It is recommended to purchase a dual-battery isolator when adding an auxiliary battery. A battery isolator connects two or more battery groups together, allowing multiple batteries to charge simultaneously. Below are the advantages and disadvantages of pure electric vehicles: Environmental Friendliness: Electric vehicles are powered by battery packs and electric motors, which do not emit exhaust gases or tailpipe pollution. This is highly beneficial for environmental protection and air cleanliness, making them almost "zero pollution." Low Noise: Electric vehicles do not produce the noise typical of conventional vehicles, and the noise they generate is almost negligible. Economical: Electric vehicles have low operating costs, about one-fifth that of gasoline vehicles. They also feature high energy conversion efficiency and can recover energy during braking and downhill driving, improving energy utilization. Charging at night using the grid's cheap "off-peak electricity" helps balance peak and off-peak grid loads. Long Charging Time: Normal charging typically takes around 8 hours, while fast charging still requires 1-2 hours. Inadequate Infrastructure: Currently, charging stations in China are as rare as phoenix feathers and hard to find. It will take a considerable amount of time to build the necessary supporting infrastructure.
