Electric Vehicle Basics

What are electric vehicles (EVs) known for?

• Providing instant torque and a quiet driver experience

• Having longer driving ranges per charge than conventional vehicles

• Producing high tailpipe emissions

• Using liquid fuels as their primary source of energy

What is the primary fuel source for all-electric vehicles (BEVs)?

• Gasoline

• Hydrogen

• Electricity

• Diesel

What is the driving range of most new BEVs?

• Less than 50 miles

• 50 to 100 miles

• 200 to 300 miles..

• 200 to 400+ miles

What factors can reduce the driving range of an all-electric vehicle?

• Extreme temperatures

• Speeding and aggressive driving

• Heavy loads

• All of the above

What is regenerative braking in EVs?

• A braking system that uses liquid fuels

• A braking system that uses regenerative energy

• A braking system that reduces range

• A braking system that produces tailpipe emissions

What is the primary fuel source for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)?

• Petrol

• Hydrogen

• Electricity

• Diesel

What is the all-electric driving range of most PHEVs?

• Less than 10 miles

• 10 to 30 miles

• 30 to 50 miles..

• 50+ miles

What happens when a PHEV's battery is mostly depleted?

• The vehicle stops working

• The vehicle switches to petrol power

• The vehicle switches to hydrogen power

• The vehicle switches to diesel power

What is the expected battery lifetime of an EV?

• 2 to 5 years

• 5 to 8 years

• 8 to 10 years

• 12 to 15 years..

What are the emissions of all-electric vehicles compared to conventional vehicles?

• Higher emissions

• Equal emissions

• Lower emissions

• No emissions
