What is the difference between DM and EV?
1 Answers
DM and EV differ in their power sources: DM stands for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, while EV refers to pure electric vehicles. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is one whose drive system consists of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The vehicle's driving power is provided by either one of these systems alone or collectively, depending on the actual driving conditions. Pure electric vehicles are driven by an electric motor, which is powered by a battery pack. Their defining characteristic is that they can only be refueled by charging. Pure electric vehicles do not have an internal combustion engine; instead, they are equipped with an electric motor, battery pack, onboard charger, control unit, and other components. They use charged battery power to drive the vehicle instead of gasoline, eliminating the need for a gasoline engine. As a result, they produce no exhaust emissions during operation and generate significantly lower noise and vibration levels compared to gasoline-powered vehicles.
