CONCLUSION
3. “Electric cars” generally
refers to road going
automobiles powered
by electricity.
Propelled by one
electric motor or more
using batteries
Electric motors give
instant torque, and
smooth acceleration

4. Electric cars enjoyed popularity between the
late 19th century and early 20th century.
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.
As on march 2024,other electric automobiles,
city cars, and light trucks available in some
markets for purchase includes tesla, volt etc.

8. The driver presses the
accelerator which in turn sends
the signals to the controller.
When fully accelerated,
maximum voltage is supplied to
the motor.
On releasing the accelerator, no
voltage is supplied.
Two potentiometers are
connected.
When both potentiometers show
same deviation, voltage is
supplied further and car moves.

11. • 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.

12. • 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.

COMBUSTION
CARS
From electricity
produced by batteries
By combustion of fossil fuels and
petroleum
Slightly higher due to
expensive batteries
Cheaper than that of electric
vehicles due to cheaper parts
Doesn’t produce
harmful emissions and
contributes in clean air.
Produces harmful carbon
emissions therefore polluting the
air.
Running cost is low due
to lesser number of
parts.
High due to more number of
parts and replacement of oils,
etc.

Cheaper than electric cars.
Electricity rate may vary from
place to place.
Fuel prices remains almost
constant in every region
across the world.
Most companies don’t have
certified mechanics for
servicing of electric cars.
A lot of mechanics know how
to service a combustion cars

15. • 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.
15
16. • 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.

17. • Electric cars contribute to cleaner air.
• Reduced carbon emissions hence less air
pollution.
• Produce 27% less carbon(monoxide and
dioxide) than combustion engines.

18. The progress that the electric vehicle industry has seen in recent
years is not only extremely welcomed but highly necessary in
light of the increasing global green house gas level.
As we know electric cars are Rarely known by people of India
so it is our duty to make it to the knowledge of people about it’s
advantageous features to save our environment.
It’s not only the duty of common people but also necessary
steps must be taken by our govt.
Each person can make a difference , so go electric and help to
make difference.
