(BEV or EV) Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Range Extension Electric Vehicles (REx) Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs)
name suggests these vehicles are fully operated through power generated from a battery (Li-ion). This type of vehicle does not come with the traditional combustion engine and thus emits zero carbon monoxide or pollutants in the atmosphere. 5 Examples of BEVs: Tesla Model 3, BMW i3, Hyundai ioniq, Ford Focus, etc.
conventional combustion engine & battery-powered electric motor. But the battery cannot be charged by plugging in through an electricity input/ charging station, instead, it captures energy while braking and batteries are charged. 6 Examples of HEVs: Volvo XC90, Toyota Prius
from its name. Unlike hybrid vehicles, PHEVs battery can be charged through a plug-in socket as well as power generated through braking and the car operates on the both combustion engine and electric powered motor. Benefits of PHEVs are the ability to cover shorter distances without using the combustion engine and increased range from fuel, battery charging & regenerative braking. 7 Examples of PHEVs: BMW i8, Toyota Prius Prime
of vehicle features both combustion engine & electric motor but most of the driving is done by the electric motor only. The internal combustion engine is only there to charge the battery if in case it gets low during a journey. 8 Example of REx: BMW i3
stores hydrogen gas in the tank & use electric motors like BEV. A fuel cell combines hydrogen with oxygen present in the air & generates electricity which powers the electric motor. Like the BEVs, it does not contain tailpipe and the byproduct is only water. There is no need to plug-in as the fuel cells are recharged by refilling the hydrogen. Hydrogen infrastructure is far from reality as of now, which is not the case with Charging infrastructure as it has gained worldwide momentum. 9 Example of FCEV: Toyota FCV concept
are powered by an internal gasoline-powered motor and one or more electric motors to power it. Hybrid cars are designed to switch between using gasoline and electric power or using both at the same time, depending on what’s most efficient at the moment. Hybrids come in different types, including those that can be plugged in to charge their batteries and others that just recharge by running the engine or through braking It’s called Regenerative. 10
has a spare gas powered car than going for an EV is a good idea as once you the hit highway for a long drive the range anxiety will kick in. If one can have only one car than as far as today is concerned getting a hybrid makes more sense. 11
an electric motor that assists the gas engine, but always needs the gas engine running for it to assist. Full” hybrids have an electric motor that can move the car without the gas engine running, though only with electricity that originally comes from the gas engine 12
connected to the driveline, as shown in Figure In the case of parallel architectures, good performance during acceleration is possible because of the combined power from both engines . . Different control strategies are used in a preferred approach. If the power required by the transmission is higher than the output power of the ICE, the electric motor is turned on so that both engines can supply power to the transmission. If the power required by the transmission is less than the output power of the ICE, the remaining power is used to charge the battery packs . Moreover, mechanical and electric power could be decoupled, and the system has a high operating flexibility enabling three modes of operation: purely combustion; purely electric and hybrid. Usually, a PHEVs are managed in purely electric mode at low speeds, until the battery charge state reaches a predetermined low threshold, typically 30%. Parallel Hybrid Vehicle
(SHEVs) involve an internal combustion engine (ICE), generator, battery packs, capacitors and electric motors . SHEVs have no mechanical connections between the ICE and the wheels. The ICE is turned off when the battery packs feed the system in urban driving. A significant amount of energy is supplied from the regenerative braking The series hybrid configuration is mostly used in heavy vehicles, military vehicles, and buses . An advantage of this topology is that the ICE can be turned off when the vehicle is driving in a zero-emission zone. Moreover, the ICE and the electric machine are not mechanically coupled; 15
supplies the electrical energy from the battery to the motor. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the controller stops the electric energy supply to the motor and starts charging from generator to battery. 18
braking system that generates electrical energy during braking action. This generated energy is used for charging the battery, which is used again to rotate the motor (to run the vehicle). Working principle: This regenerative braking system works on the principle of ‘conservation of energy’. The principle says that, the energy converts from one form to another form. In friction braking system, the kinetic energy of the wheel is converted into the heat energy, which is lost to the atmosphere. But in regenerative system, the kinetic energy of wheels is converted into the electrical energy. This system is mostly used in electric or hybrid vehicles, which uses a motor to run the vehicle. 19
