What are the three categories of new energy vehicles?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles include three major types: Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). The details are as follows: 1. Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Hybrid Electric Vehicles refer to vehicles equipped with more than one power source, including motor drives, that comply with road traffic and safety regulations. 2. Battery Electric Vehicles: Battery Electric Vehicles are powered by on-board power sources and use motors to drive the wheels, meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their prospects are widely optimistic, although current technology is not yet mature. Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) are completely powered by rechargeable batteries (such as lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, or lithium-ion batteries). 3. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles: Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles utilize electricity generated through electrochemical reactions in fuel cells from fuels like hydrogen and oxygen in the air under the action of a catalyst, serving as the primary power source to drive the vehicle.
