2. What is an Electric Vehicle
• Electric Vehicles (EVs) use one or more electric motors or traction
motors for propulsion.
• An electric vehicle may source its power from off-vehicle onboard
battery, or other sources such as solar panels or electric generators.
3. Basic Structure of a Hybrid Vehicle
The batteries in a hybrid car are the energy storage device for
the Electric motor.
The Electric motor on a hybrid car can put energy into the
batteries as well as draw energy from them
4. Series hybrid system
Series:
This is called a series hybrid system because the power flows to the wheels in series.
A series hybrid system can run a small-output engine in the efficient operating region relatively steadily,
generate and supply electricity to the electric motor and efficiently charge the battery.
This system is being used in the Coaster Hybrid.
5. Parallel hybrid system
In a parallel hybrid system, both the engine and the electric motor drive the wheels, and
the drive power from these two sources can be utilized according to the prevailing
conditions.
This is called a parallel hybrid system because the power flows to the wheels in parallel.
6. Series & parallel hybrid system
Series/parallel hybrid system
This maximizes both series and parallel systems, it has two motors, and
depending on the driving conditions, uses only the electric motor or
the driving power from both the electric motor and the engine, in order
to achieve the highest efficiency level.
This is the system used in the Toyota Prius and the Estima Hybrid.
7. Mild Hybrid electric vehicle
• A mild-hybrid EV has all the functionality of a micro-hybrid. In
addition, it has features that allow it to improve the drawbacks of
fossil fuel vehicles by improving the efficiency levels.
• The ICE consumes more fuel and emits more pollutants when
coasting, braking or idling. In those situations the electric motor will
assist in order to increase the efficiency levels by helping the engine
operation.
• In a mild hybrid, the electric drive motor can assist the engine when
extra power is needed, but it is incapable of propelling the vehicle
alone.
8. Micro hybrid electric vehicle
• Micro-hybrid electric vehicles have the lowest contribution of electric
power.
• In a micro hybrid, the electric motor is used for applications such as
stop/start actions of the engine and small scale of regenerative
braking.
• The start/stop functionality, for example, can help in turning off the
engine automatically at a stop light and hence reduce the fuel
consumption.
• The electric drivetrain, however, cannot be used to supply additional
torque to the wheels
9. Full hybrid car
• full hybrid car has the characteristics that the electric motor provide
at least 40% of the maximum range power as additional torque.
• These type of cars include a large motor and battery bank; this
feature gives the opportunity to reduce the size of the combustion
engine especially in a parallel or series-parallel configuration.
• This configuration involves adding complexity to the powertrain
structure in order to provide movement from both motor and engine
interchangeable, which increase the cost-weight of the vehicle
