Types of electric vehicle are : 1.Hybrid Electric Vehicle 2.Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicle 3.Battery Electric Vehicle 4.Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Hybrid Electric Vehicles A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that stores energy on board in two or more forms. In a typical hybrid electric vehicle one form is gasoline with an engine as a fuel converter. The other is a bidirectional electrical storage device.  Advantages 1.Electric motor is not only used to start the gasoline engine but also to support it at short stops and low speeds. 2. Less brake wear and other maintenance.   3.Up to 20% fuel savings. Plug-in  Hybrid electric Vehicle A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) uses an internal combustion engine to extend its cruising range,and produce the electric power needed to be supplied to its electric motor when charge level of the vehicle's  battery becomes low and reaches predetermined state of charge(SO...

History of Electric vehicles from 1830

                         Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from automotive vehicles are tremendous problems for the climate. The automotive industries are confronting significant issues to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, which have a direct impact on the environment. The automotive industries are manufacturing Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and Full Electric Vehicles (FEVs) with less carbon emission to reduce the effect of carbon dioxide emissions.  Internal combustion engines have been dominating since a long term, hence the exploitation on fossils have increased drastically, which is getting depleted. The idea of propulsion of automobiles using electric motors came to light from early 19th century itself. Hence to compensate for fossil depletion, reducing pollution levels and as an alternate and more efficient source propulsion, demand for electric vehicles are expected to be the most depen...
