Hybrid and Electric Cars Web Resources



     Electric cars work
    Electric cars are something that show up in the news all the time. There are several reasons for the continuing interest in these vehicles. Electric cars create less pollution than powered cars, so they are an environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles (especially in cities).

    The environmental impacts of electric vehicles.
    The electric power system is changing and, especially, the electrical distribution system will meet  new features. One of the large changes is a transformation of the transportation sector with the use of electricity, with introduction of electrical vehicles and Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs). This will pose new challenges and opportunities for the electric distribution companies. This paper analyzes the effects of PEVs charging on the local 400 V and 10 kV electric distribution systems in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, using steady-state power flow analysis. Two different areas representing residential area and commercial area have been simulated for the worst-case scenario, which is simultaneous charging of all the vehicles during the peak load period.

    The advantages and disadvantages of using electric vehicles
    Electric traction is one of the most promising technologies that can lead to significant improvements in vehicle performance, energy utilization efficiency, and polluting emissions. Among several technologies, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) traction is the most promising technology that has the advantages of high performance, high fuel efficiency, low emissions, and long operating range. Moreover, the technologies of all the component hardware are technically and markedly available. 

    The major challenges facing implementation of electric vehicle
    The battery management system (BMS) is a critical component of electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The purpose of the BMS is to guarantee safe and reliable battery operation.
