What is the typical power output of a pure electric vehicle?
1 Answers
The maximum power output of the motor in standard new energy vehicle models is typically around 70kW, with a maximum torque of 180 N·m. For high-performance versions, the motor's maximum power usually reaches 120kW, delivering up to 280 N·m of torque. Current electric vehicle types include Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). Working principle of electric vehicles: The drive motor receives electrical energy which is then converted into mechanical energy. While lead-acid batteries remain the most widely used power source, their limitations - including low energy density, slow charging speed, and short lifespan - are leading to gradual replacement by emerging alternatives. Developing power sources mainly include sodium-sulfur batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, lithium batteries, and fuel cells. Electric vehicle motors can be categorized into multiple types: AC motors, DC motors, universal motors, control motors (including stepper, tachometer, servo, and synchro types), switched reluctance motors, and signal motors. Motors suitable for electric propulsion mainly fall into two categories: DC motors (converting DC electrical energy to mechanical energy) and AC motors (converting AC electrical energy to mechanical energy). Currently applied or promising motor types for electric vehicles include DC motors, AC induction (asynchronous) motors, permanent magnet brushless motors, and switched reluctance motors.
