Topic: Battery electric vehicle


  
  Battery electric vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hybrid vehicles with batteries that can be charged and used without their ICE are called plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and are pure BEVs while they are not burning fuel.
Electric vehicle conversions usually use lead-acid batteries because they are the most available and inexpensive.
Battery replacement costs of BEVs may be partially or fully offset by the lack of regular maintenance such as oil and filter changes required for internal combustion engine vehicles, and by the greater reliability of BEVs due to their fewer moving parts.

 Electric vehicle conversion - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
Owing to the fact that electric vehicles have not been promoted by the major manufacturers in the United States, this is a self-selected group, so their enthusiasm may be misleading.
While Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs, essentially enhanced electric carts) are available from several manufactures, such vehicles are not considered here for hobby conversion as they are readily available from manufacturers and are not suitable for most suburban locations (although they may be well suited for operation in some urban environments and many self-contained communities).
Vehicles for these will typically be economy car conversions or custom built chassies but with excess rear weight bias to allow agile handling under the control of an experienced driver (such rearward balance may be dangerous for everyday use).

 Howstuffworks "How Electric Cars Work"
Electric cars create less pollution than gasoline-powered cars, so they are an environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles (especially in cities).
Vehicles powered by fuel cells are electric cars, and fuel cells are getting a lot of attention right now in the news.
Electric motors were added to power things that used to get their power from the engine: the water pump, power steering pump, air conditioner.

 Battery Application: Electric Vehicle Concept
The Electric Vehicle (EV) is a fruit of scientific research that is being reconsidered by the auto industry as a prudent option to ensure an environment free of hazardous pollution.
Batteries could also be hazardous to the environment if not recycled in a proper way and moreover batteries have a considerably short life span.
The vehicle does not run on electricity alone but energy produced by fuel is utilised to generate electricity which is then used as the power source.

 EV Battery Glossary
The battery is similar to nickel-cadmium but uses an anode of a metal hydride; a variety of metal alloys are used.
SLI batteries are sometimes used in electric vehicles, especially for racing, but are generally not considered suitable because of their short cycle life.
The specific gravity of the electrolyte in a battery can be used to measure the state of charge of the battery.

 Production battery electric vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Production battery electric vehicles (BEVs) like the GM EV1 and Chevrolet S10 EV, Chrysler TEVan, Honda EV Plus, Ford Ranger EV, Nissan Altra, Toyota RAV4 EV, and Solectria Force have been made available to the consumer market in very limited quantities and locations.
A number of Rav4-EVs have over 100,000 miles on their NiMH battery packs, which are also used in current hybrids.
They may be unavailable because they are too good, since their range of about 150 miles was as good as the best of HFCV (hydrogen fuel cell vehicles) and today their range can be comparable to gas cars.

 Electric Vehicle Battery Project
To produce electricity, ions from the negative electrode flow towards the positive electrode, leaving a buildup of electrons on the negative electrode, which generates a current.
If designed properly, a battery may be recharged by applying a current in the reverse direction, which forces the metal ions to return to the negative electrode.
Because electric vehicles are a priority for the Department of Energy, the project receives funding for its two-million-dollar budget through DOE's Offices of Transportation Technologies and Basic Energy Sciences.

 Ergenics Announces Advanced Electric Vehicle Battery
The outstanding performance of the Hy-Stor battery is made possible by coupling the established know-how of high energy storage density of metal hydrides with the unmatched high cycle life capabilities of nickel-hydrogen batteries, which have been used successfully in orbiting satellites for over two decades.
Ergenics is initially targeting its application to the market for electric and hybrid electric vehicles, where it provides much longer cycle life, much greater range between charge cycles, a greater temperature range of operation and substantial cost efficiencies.
Ergenics, believes that, eventually, the hybrid electric vehicle will prove to be the most popular and, indeed, effective means of achieving energy saving and pollution control objectives.

 Battery-Electric Vehicles
The electricity powering the motor is stored in a battery pack that must be recharged from an electric power source.
Higher vehicle prices are partially offset by the fact that fuel costs for battery electrics are about one-third those of a gasoline-powered vehicle.
The future of battery-electric vehicles is somewhat cloudy at this time, but their development has already made important contributions to advancing electric drive-train and storage technologies needed by both hybrid and fuel cell vehicles.  If further breakthroughs in battery technologies occur, BEVs could yet prove to be the future of clean transportation.
