The electric car is basically a machine that operates on Electric Car battery. Instead of the conventional gasoline engine, you have components powered by electrical energy. The car moves by the power supplied by this electric energy. The single most important component in the electric car is the battery. It provides the motive force aside the powering of electrical components like the wiper, headlamps and horn. We take a look at the battery system of the electric car which looks and works in a much different way from that of conventional vehicles.

battery. Instead of the conventional gasoline engine, you have
components powered by electrical energy. The car moves by the
power supplied by this electric energy.
• The single most important component in the electric car is the
battery. It provides the motive force aside the powering of
electrical components like the wiper, headlamps and horn.
• We take a look at the battery system of the electric car which looks
and works in a much different way from that of conventional
vehicles.
• First, there are several types of Electric Car Batteries. We have the
AC brush less which provides high speed but has the limitation of
poor acceleration. Next comes the AC induction which also gives
high speed and high acceleration but is the most expensive to buy.
Many electric cars use the economical version of batteries called
the Permanent magnet which provides average performance.

3. • Safe
• High Power
• High Capacity
• Small and Light
• Large Format
• Long Life
• Low Overall Cost

4. Lead-acid
• Flooded lead-acid batteries are the
cheapest and most common traction
batteries available.
• There are two main types of lead-
acid batteries: automobile engine
starter batteries and deep cycle
batteries.
• Traditionally, most electric vehicles
have used lead-acid batteries due to
their mature technology, high
availability, and low cost.
• Lead-acid batteries in EV
applications end up being a
significant (25–50%) portion of the
final vehicle mass.
• The efficiency (70–75%)

5. • They boast an energy density
of 30–80 Wh/kg, far higher
than lead-acid.
• When used properly, nickel-
metal hydride batteries can
have exceptionally long
lives.
• Present NiMH,RAV4EVs
that still operate well after
100,000 miles (160,000 km)
and over a decade of service.
• Downsides include the poor
efficiency, high self-
discharge, very finicky
charge cycles, and poor
performance in cold weather.

6. • The traditional lithium-ion
chemistry involves a lithium
cobalt oxide cathode and a
graphite anode.
• This yields cells with an
impressive 200+ Wh/kg
energy density and good
power density.
• 80 to 90% charge/discharge
efficiency.
• Silicon nanowires, silicon
nanoparticles, and tin
nanoparticles promise
several times the energy
density in the anode.

7. Using NIMH Battery • The General Motors
EV1 had a range of 75
to 150 miles (240 km)
with NiMH batteries
in 1999.

8. • Electric Battery
Automobiles are really
important as they will
prevent a major source
of increased Global
Warming and other
natural problems.
• New Concepts of
rechargeable should
arise that will have
higher efficiency than
all other existing
batteries.
