Electric vehicle powertrain systems include fuel cell engines, electric vehicle battery systems, on-board hydrogen supply systems, electric drive systems for power supply systems, and powertrain control systems. Below is an introduction to the electric power system: Components of the electric power system: Pure electric vehicles consist of three main parts: the electric drive system, the power source system, and the auxiliary system. The electric drive system includes the controller, power converter, electric motor, mechanical transmission device, and wheels. The electric motor functions similarly to the engine in a traditional car, with its primary task being to efficiently convert the electrical energy stored in the power battery into kinetic energy to drive the wheels under the driver's control, or to convert the kinetic energy from the wheels back into electrical energy during braking, feeding it back into the power battery to achieve braking energy recovery. The controller acts like the nervous system of the human body; electric vehicles must use a vehicle control system to coordinate and control various subsystems to achieve optimal overall performance. The power source system includes the battery pack and battery management system (BMS). The auxiliary system includes auxiliary power sources, power steering systems, air conditioning units, lighting devices, etc. Operation process of the powertrain system: Based on signals from the brake pedal and accelerator pedal, the electronic controller issues corresponding control commands to regulate the electric motor and adjust the power flow between the motor and the power source. The auxiliary power supply system mainly provides power for power steering, air conditioning, braking, and other auxiliary devices. In addition to signals from the brake and accelerator pedals, the steering wheel input is also a crucial signal. The power steering system determines the vehicle's agile steering based on the angular position of the steering wheel.
