19EEET01 - Electric & Hybrid Vehicles

What is the main difference between an electric vehicle and a hybrid vehicle?

• Type of tires

• Power source

• Number of wheels

• Color of the vehicle

What are the benefits of using electric vehicles?

• Increased air pollution, higher cost, and more dependence on fossil fuels.

• Environmental benefits, cost savings, and reduced dependence on fossil fuels.

How does regenerative braking work in electric and hybrid vehicles?

• The electric motor acts as a generator to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy

• The battery absorbs the kinetic energy and stores it for later use

• The regenerative braking system disengages the electric motor to slow down the vehicle

• The vehicle uses friction to slow down and generate energy

What are the different types of electric vehicle charging stations?

• Standard, Deluxe, Premium Charging

• Slow, Medium, Fast Charging

• Regular, Premium, Ultra Charging

• Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Charging

What is the average range of an electric vehicle on a single charge?

• 100 miles

• 200 miles

• Varies

• 500 miles

What are the environmental impacts of electric and hybrid vehicles?

• Habitat destruction

• Battery production, electricity generation, and end-of-life disposal of batteries

• Higher fuel consumption

• Increased air pollution

What are the main components of an electric vehicle's powertrain?

• electric motor, power electronics, and the battery

• diesel engine, radiator, and fuel tank

• solar panels, wind turbine, and hydrogen fuel cell

• gasoline engine, transmission, and exhaust system

What are the challenges of owning an electric vehicle?

• Electric vehicles are not environmentally friendly and are not worth the investment.

• No challenges at all, electric vehicles are perfect in every way.

• Unlimited driving range, short charging times, abundant charging infrastructure, and lower upfront cost.

• Limited driving range, long charging times, lack of charging infrastructure, and higher upfront cost.

How do plug-in hybrid vehicles differ from regular hybrid vehicles?

• Plug-in hybrid vehicles cannot be charged from an external power source

• Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be charged from an external power source and have a larger battery capacity compared to regular hybrid vehicles.

• Plug-in hybrid vehicles have smaller battery capacity than regular hybrid vehicles

• Regular hybrid vehicles have better fuel efficiency than plug-in hybrid vehicles

What are the advancements in battery technology for electric vehicles?

• Advancements in battery technology for electric vehicles include improvements in battery life, color variety, and sound effects.

• Advancements in battery technology for electric vehicles include improvements in weight, taste, and smell.

• Advancements in battery technology for electric vehicles include improvements in energy density, charging speed, and cost reduction.

• Advancements in battery technology for electric vehicles include improvements in size, shape, and texture.
