Questions and Answers

What is the function of the Gear Drive Unit in an electrified vehicle?

  • Sending power to the wheels with one gear and providing torque from the motor (correct)
  • Regulating the flow of electricity to the high-voltage battery
  • Controlling the vehicle's steering and braking systems
  • Storing energy for the vehicle's powertrain system
  • What is the role of the High-Voltage (HV) Battery in an electrified vehicle?

  • Storing excess power generated by the motor
  • Controlling the vehicle's climate control and entertainment systems
  • Functioning as the 'fuel tank' or heart of the powertrain system (correct)
  • Regulating the vehicle's suspension and ride comfort
  • What is DC Fast Charging used for in electrified vehicles?

  • Quick charging the high voltage battery via Direct Current at high voltage levels (correct)
  • Charging the low-voltage battery using Alternating Current
  • Slowly discharging excess energy from the high-voltage battery
  • Regulating the flow of electricity between the motor and wheels

    Study Notes

    Gear Drive Unit Function

    • Transmits power from the electric motor to the wheels
    • Provides torque multiplication for acceleration and hill climbing

    High-Voltage (HV) Battery Role

    • Stores energy for the electric motor
    • Enables driving range and performance
    • Can be recharged through various charging methods

    DC Fast Charging Purpose

    • Quickly replenishes the HV battery with high power levels
    • Suitable for long journeys and in situations where quick charging is necessary

    Common DC Fast Charging Speeds

    • Level 3 charging: Can charge up to 80% in 30 minutes
    • CCS (Combined Charging System): Standard for DC Fast Charging in many parts of the world
    • CHAdeMO (Charge de Move): Another standard for DC Fast Charging, primarily used in Japan

    AC Charging Recommendation

    • Regular AC charging: Recommended for daily use and overnight charging
    • Reduced strain on battery: Helps prolong battery life by minimizing stress from frequent high-power charging
