ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Introduction
• An electric vehicle is one powered by an
electric motor rather than a traditional
petrol/diesel engine. This electric motor is
powered by rechargeable batteries that can be
charged by common household electricity
History of electric vehicles
• 1900S –EV car, twice the conventional vehicle.
• wasn’t until the 1920s that interest in electric cars dwindled.
• It was Henry Ford who put the nail in the electric car coffin when his company
began to mass-produce the Model T.
• The limited maximum speed of electric cars (up to 30mph) limited their
practicality.
• 1970s and 80s –due to increasing the oil price people search alternate source
• Tesla’s Roadster, which went on sale in 2008
• As of September 2016, there are more than one million pure electric cars and
vans owned globally
What are the benefits of electric cars?
• They produce no tailpipe emissions, so are better
for the planet.
• They are exempt from road tax and from the
London Congestion Charge.
• They often have a smoother drive than petrol cars.
• They are cheaper to run.
• Do not need much maintenance, as they have
fewer moving parts.
ELECTRIC VEHICLES
• Battery-powered vehicles give off virtually no
pollution and offer one of the best options for
reducing motor vehicle emissions in polluted
cities.
• The driving range of today's electric cars is
limited by the amount of power and the
battery can provide.
• Current batteries take hours to recharge and
the cost of electric vehicles is high.
• Recent developments in electric vehicle
technology show much promise for future.
Working principle of EVs
The inverter (power electronic) takes direct
current (DC) electricity from battery and
converts it to alternating current (AC)
electricity and sends it to the motor.
The electric motor (electric machine) uses AC
current to create torque (mechanical power)
to power the wheels for propulsion.
Electric Vehicle Types
• (1)Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)
• (2) Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
• (3) Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
• (4) Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV)

BATTERIES
• The batteries are essential and important part
of the EV system. Batteries replace IC engine
of the vehicle.
(i) Lead-Acid batteries:
• Lead-acid batteries can be designed to be high
power, inexpensive, safe and reliable. But low
specific energy, poor cold temperature
performance and short calendar and cycle life
are still barriers to their use.
(ii) Nickel-cadmium batteries:
• Although nickel-cadmium batteries used in many
electronic consumer products have high specific energy
and better life cycle than lead-acid batteries, they do not
deliver sufficient power and they are not being considered
for EV applications.
(iii) Nickel-metal hydride batteries:
• Nickel-metal hydride batteries have a much longer life
cycle than lead acid batteries and they are safe and abuse-
tolerant. These batteries have been used successfully in
producing electric vehicles. The main challenges with
nickel-metal hydride batteries are their high cost high self-
discharge and heat generation at high temperatures, need
to control losses of hydrogen and low cell efficiency
(iv) Lithium ion batteries
• The lithium ion batteries have high specific power, high-energy
efficiency, good high temperature performance and low self-
discharge. Components of lithium-ion batteries could also be
recycled. These characteristics make lithium ion batteries
suitable for EV applications. However, further development is
needed in improvement of calendar and cycle life, higher degree
of cell and battery safety, abuse tolerance and acceptable cost.
(v) Lithium polymer batteries:
• Lithium polymer batteries with high specific energy initially
developed for EV applications also love the potential to provide
high specific power for EV applications. The other key
characteristics of the lithium polymer are safety, good cycle and
calendar life. The battery could be commercially viable if the cost
is lowered and increased specific power batteries are developed.
BATTERY CHARGER
Batteries are replenished by the battery chargers.
The battery charger converts AC power available on
our electricity network to DC power stored in a
battery.
It controls the voltage level of the battery cells by
adjusting the rate of charge.
It will also monitor the cell temperatures and
control the charge to keep the battery healthy.
Some EVs have on-board chargers whereas others
plug into a charger located outside the vehicle.
Electric motors
The core element of the EV, apart from
batteries, is an electric motor.
The electric motors used for automotive
applications should have characteristics such
as high starting torque, high power density,
good efficiency, etc.
Brushless DC Motors (BLDC)
These motors have traction characteristics such
as high starting torque, high efficiency around
95-98%, etc.
They are suitable for high power density design
approach.
Therefore, they are the most preferred motors
for the electric vehicle application due to its
traction characteristics.
The main drawback is high cost due to
permanent magnets.
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
(PMSM)
This motor is also similar to BLDC motor and it has traction
characteristics such as high-power density and high
efficiency.
The difference is that PMSM has sinusoidal back EMP PMSM
is the best choice for high performance applications like
cars, buses as it is available with higher power ratings.
Most of the automotive manufacturers use PMSM motors
for their hybrid and electric vehicles.
For example, Toyota Prius, Chevrolet Bolt EV, Ford Focus
Electric, Honda Accord, BMW i3, etc. use PMSM motor for
propulsion.
Three Phase AC Induction Motors
The induction motors do not have high starting toque
similar to DC series motors.
But this characteristic can be altered by using various
control techniques and the maximum torque is made
available at the starting of the motor.
Induction motors are the preferred choice for
performance oriented electric vehicles due to its
cheap cost.
Mahindra Reva e20 uses a three phase induction
motor for its propulsion
Inverter
Inverter is a device that converts DC power to
AC power used in an electric vehicle motor.
The inverter can change the speed at which
the motor rotates by adjusting the frequency
of the alternating current.
It can also increase or decrease the power or
torque of the motor by adjusting the
amplitude of the signal.
Controller
The controller is like the brain of a vehicle,
managing all of its parameters.
It controls the rate of charge using
information from the battery.
It also translates pressure on the accelerator
pedal to adjust the speed in the motor
inverter.

• It ensures smooth operation. i.e., vibration and noise is
less.
• Cost of operation is less.
• Less maintenance is required.
• It is easy to start the vehicle.
• It takes up less space on the road. So, they help to
reduce traffic congestion.
Limitations of Electric Vehicles
• 1. It has less initial torque.
• 2. It is more expensive.
• 3. Frequent recharging of battery is needed and
also battery charging needs moretime.
• 4. The performance is poor.
• 5. Less variety of vehicles is available in the
market.
HYBRID VEHICLES
The word hybrid means, something is mixed
together from two things.
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) typically combine
IC engine of a conventional vehicle with the
battery and electric motor of an electric vehicle.
The combination offers low emissions, power,
range and convenient fueling of conventional
(gasoline and diesel) vehicles and they never
need to be plugged in.
The inherent flexibility of HEVs makes them
well-suited for fleet and personal
transportation.
Layout of hybrid electric vehicle system
Working principle of hybrid vehicles
Hybrid electric vehicles are powered by an
internal combustion engine and one or more
electric motors, which uses energy stored in
batteries.
A hybrid electric vehicle cannot be plugged in to
charge the battery.
Instead, the battery is charged through
regenerative braking and by the internal
combustion engine.
HEVs typically consist of an electrical storage
device, such as a battery, flywheel, or an
ultracapacitor.
They also combine this energy storage source
with a mechanical device, like an internal-
combustion engine (ICE), gas turbine, or a fuel
cell.
This combination reduces both fuel
consumption and tailpipe emissions.
4 different types of Parallel hybrid
vehicles
Understanding Hybrid Vehicles: The 4 Main Types
1. Mild Hybrids. One of the newest innovations in
hybrid technology is that of a “mild” hybrid system
2. Full Hybrids
3. Plug-In Hybrids
4. Electric Vehicles with Range Extender Hybrids.
Two types of hybrid configurations are considered:
(A) parallel;
(B) series; and
(C) power-split (parallel/series).
Parallel HEV Configuration
Parallel HEV Configuration
• The vehicle can be powered by the gasoline
engine working alone, the electric motor by
itself, or by both energy converters working
together.
• Power distribution between the engine and
motor is designed so that the engine can run
in its optimum operating range as much as
possible.
Series HEV configuration
Series HEV configuration
• A series hybrid is like a battery electric vehicle (BEV) in design.
• Here, the combustion engine drives an electric generator instead of
directly driving the wheels.
• The generator both charges a battery and powers an electric motor
that moves the vehicle.
• When large amounts of power are required, the motor draws
electricity from both the battery and the generator.
• Series hybrids may also be referred to as extended-range electric
vehicles (EREVs) or range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs)
• since the gas engine only generates electricity to be used by the
electric motor and never directly drives the wheels.
• Modern examples include the Cadillac ELR, Chevrolet
Volt, and Fisker Karma.
Power Split or Combined Series-parallel
HEV Configuration
Power Split or Combined Series-parallel HEV

in its optimum operating range as much as
possible.

Advantages of hybrid vehicles
1. Hybrid vehicles have lower emissions than conventional
vehicles because an electric motor is used with an IC engine
which offsets how often the engine is usedand therefore, it
reduces the fuel use and emissions.
2. Hybrid vehicles provide better fuel economy as it can go
20-30 kms per litre ofgasoline.
3. Cost of operation is less.
4. As hybrid vehicle requires less fuel to run, it can reduce
Nation's dependence onfossil fuels and help to decrease
foreign oil imports thereby increasing energy security.
5. Instant torque is obtained during the starting.
6. More reliable and comfortable operation are ensured.
Disadvantages of hybrid vehicles
1. The initial cost will be very high i.e., higher than other
cars.
2. Since a lot of batteries will be needed, the car will be
very heavy.
3. As there are electrical components, there is a risk of
shock during an accident.
4. The vehicle can be repaired only by professionals.
Therefore, the maintenancewill be higher.
