This document provides an overview of electric vehicles. It discusses their history, including popularity in the late 19th century. It also covers the different types of electric vehicles like hybrid, plugin hybrid, and battery vehicles. The document outlines the advantages of electric vehicles like reduced emissions and fuel costs compared to combustion engine vehicles. Challenges include longer recharging times and higher initial costs. The conclusion is that while electric vehicles have been around since the 1990s, their future is promising for reducing carbon emissions.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Propelled by one electric vehicle or more
using batteries.
 Electric vehicles gives instant torque and
smooth acceleration.
 The rechargeable batteries can charged
by common household electricity.

3. HISTORY
 Electric vehicle enjoyed popularity between the late 19th
century and early 20th century
 Early history
 In 1890s , electric automobiles held many speed and
distance records.
 Before the 1920s , electric automobiles were competing with
petroleum–fuelled cars for urban use of a quality service car.

4.  From 1990s to present
 Renewed interest in the perceived independence that electric
vehicles had from the fluctuation of the hydrocarbon energy
market.
 As on July 2012, other electric automobiles, city car and light
trucks available in some markets for purchase include the
Reva(sub brand of Mahindra), Tesla, volt etc.

5. NEED OF ELECTRIC
VEHICLE
 Contributes to clean air.
 To preserve the fossil fuels.
 Less maintenance.
 More efficient.
 Cost effective.

6. TYPES OF ELECTRIC
VEHICLES
 Hybrid vehicles
 Plugin hybrid vehicles
 Battery vehicles

7. PLUGIN HYBRID VEHICLES
 Both the electric motor and the internal combustion engine needed to
run car.
 Combustion engine is used only to charge the battery .
 Rechargable batteries-Recharged by internal combustion and
regenerative braking.
 It has a larger battery pack that is plugged into the electric grid for
for charging, increasing the share of electric power used by the car.
7

8. HYBRID VEHICLES
 Uses a small electric battery to support the internal
combustion engine.
 Provides increased fuel efficiency.
 The battery is recharged by both the gasoline engine
and regenerative braking.
 Regenerative braking captures kinetic energy to charge
batteries when the driver pushes the brakes
8

9. BATTERY VEHICLES
 Battery electric vehicles are all electric.
 No internal combustion engine.
 Needs large recharge time (7-8 hours).
 Car halts when the battery dies.
 In order to run 80 plus miles, it requires a large battery
i.e. 18kWH to 36 kWH. 17

10. ELECTRIC CAR IN INDIA
 Companies like Mahindra, Chevrolet and Toyota have launched
electric cars in India.
 Mahindra launched the first model of EV Reva back in the late
1990s.
 However efforts have been made to improve the power and
luxury of the car.
 In November 2011, Reva NXR was launched which could run 160
km when fully charged.
10

11.  Other cars include .
 Hyundai i10 Electric .
 Termed as zero-emission urban commuter.
 Consists of a 16kWh battery and a 49kWh electrical
motor.
 Can be driven upto 160km when fully charged.

12. LIFE TIME OF ELECTRIC
VEHICLE
 Different type of electric cars have different life
spans.
 Battery EVs can run for 5 years or 1,00,000 miles
before fully disintegrated.
 The Plug-in hybrids and hybrids have a longer life
span due to continuous recharging from the
internal combustion engines and batteries.

13. COMPARISON 13
Electricvehicle Combustion
vehicle
Energy From electricity produce by
batteries.
By combustion of fossil fuels
and petroleum.
Price Slightly higher due to expensive
batteries.
Cheaper then that of electric
vehicles due to cheaper parts.
Pollution Doesn’t produce harmful
emissions and contributes in
clean air.
Produce harmful carbon
emission therefore polluting the
air .
Running
Cost
Running cost is low due to
lesser number of part.
High due to more number of
parts and replacement of oil.

14. COST EFFECTIVENESS 14
Electric

Combustion
Engine Car
Price Expensive due to
expensive batteries .
Cheaper than electric
vehicles.
Fuel Rate Electric rate may vary from
place to place.
Fuel price remains almost
constant in every region
across the world.
Servicing Most companies don’t
have certified mechanics
for serving of electric cars.
A lot of mechanics know
how to service a
combustion cars.

15. POLLUTION
COMPARISON

Electric Vehicle Combustion Engine
Vehicles
About zero greenhouse gases from
the EVs.
Release harmful greenhouse gases.
Less carbon emission than
combustion engine EV.
27% more carbon emission than that
of EVs.

16. ADVANTAGES
 Cheaper to run because of low rates of electricity
than petrol.
 Zero harmful emissions, better for environment.
 Nearly 100% recyclable batteries.
 Reduces noise pollution.
 Can be recharged almost anywhere in urban areas.
16

17. DISADVANTAGES
 Time required to recharge the batteries is more.
 Lesser charging stations.
 More expensive than the combustion engine cars.
 The batteries provided are quite heavy increasing
the net weight of the car.

20. CONCLUSION
 Been in market since 1990s and created a new era in
field of automobiles.
 EV has reduced carbon emissions significantly in the
area where it is used.
 It restores the balance of ecosystem to some extent.
 The future of EVs is bright as there is sufficient
Lithium reserves to power 4 billion electric cars.
