2. Little history
� The first electric car was invented between 1832 and 1839 by Robert
Anderson
� The number of electric cars began to increase thanks to the
improvements in the design of the accumulators made by the frenchs
Gaston Plante (1865) and Camille Faure (1881)
� In 1900, 28% of American vehicles were electric
� In the First World War the combustion motors become more popular
and the electric cars dissapeared
3. How does it Work?
� They are a vehicle driven by one or more electric motors
that uses electrical energy stored in rechargeable
batteries
� The motor of an electric car can be either alternating
current or direct current
� The most advanced technology in electric vehicles today
is that of lithium-ion batteries
4. Advantage of electric cars
� The don’t make sound
� They don’t produce air pollution
� Its maintenance and cost of "fuel" is much lower than that of a
conventional one
� Over the years, battery technology has improved to offer a range
almost similar to some combustion vehicles
� Greater efficiency and maximum torque from 0 revolutions and the
total absence of gears, which translates into a better response in
acceleration
5. Handicaps of electric cars
� The batteries are too expensives
� The batteries have little autonomy
� The cars are more expensive than combustions cars
� Little accessibility to recharging points
6. Electric Vehicles in racings
championsips
The main Championsips are:
�Formula E
� Moto E
7. � It debut in the grounds of the Olympic Park in Beijing in 2014
� The race are always in urban circuits around the world
� It has 11 teams and 22 drivers on the grid
� It has manufacturers like Jaguar, Nissan, BMW, Audi, DS and
Mahindra on board
� With 250kW of power, the Gen2 accelerate from 0-100km/h
in 2.8-seconds and go on to a top speed of 280km/h
8. � It will start this year
� It a championsip parallel to Moto GP
� Races are proposed as 10 laps in duration
� Five races will be held at five of the European circuits
on the MotoGP calendar
� There will be 18 riders and 12 teams
� It accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in three seconds and
reach maximum speed of 250 km / h
