Do Pure Electric Vehicles Have Engines?
1 Answers
Pure electric vehicles do not have engines, but they do have electric motors. The working principle of pure electric vehicles is as follows: electric vehicles complete their operation by driving the car through the battery current, power regulator, electric motor, and power transmission system. The electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy provided by the power source into mechanical energy. The power source supplies electrical energy to the driving mechanism—the electric motor—of the electric vehicle. The electric motor then converts the electrical energy from the power source into mechanical energy, which drives the wheels and working devices either through a transmission system or directly. The most widely used power source in electric vehicles is the lead-acid battery. However, with advancements in electric vehicle technology, lead-acid batteries are gradually being replaced by other types of batteries due to their lower energy density, slower charging speed, and shorter lifespan.
