Study Notes
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
- After the battery range is utilized, a PHEV operates as a conventional hybrid electric vehicle.
Advantages of PHEVs
- The primary advantage of a PHEV over a conventional hybrid vehicle is the ability to recharge the battery from an external power source, allowing for increased electric-only operation.
Electric Vehicles
- When operating solely on battery power, electric vehicles do not provide the benefit of reducing noise pollution in rural areas.
- In urban environments, electric vehicles provide the significant environmental benefit of reducing pollution from tailpipe emissions.
Performance of Electric Vehicles
- Electric vehicles can achieve similar speeds to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles during normal driving.
Electric Vehicle Operation
- An electric vehicle's electric motor delivers power to the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion.
