Fundamentals of vehicle electrification

What is the main reason for the shift towards electrification in cars?

• To reduce vehicle emissions

• To make cars more colorful

• To increase car speed

• To make cars fly

What is a major benefit of full electric cars?

• They are louder

• They have more seats

• They use more fuel

• They offer silent power delivery

What is a challenge for full electric cars?

• They are too small

• They are too fast

• They have limited color options

• Recharging without off-street parking

A micro hybrid vehicle is essentially a regular combustion engine vehicle, fitted with a:

• 12 volt electric drive assist system and plug in charging 

  
  

• 12 volt stop- start system & regenerative braking

• 48- volt battery and a small electric drive motor

• 
  High voltage battery and regenerative braking 

What type of vehicle has all the following features?
1. Electric drive assist.
2. Does not need to be recharged at the mains.
3. Features an internal combustion engine.
4. Fitted with a 12-volt & a 48-volt battery.

•

2. Can be recharged at the mains.
3. Features an internal combustion engine.
4. Fitted with a large high-voltage battery. 

• Full hybrid

• Plug-in hybrid

• Mild hybrid

• Micro hybrid

A hybrid vehicle that uses an internal combustion engine to recharge the battery , but never drives the wheel, is called a :

• Battery electric

• Full hybrid

• Micro hybrid

• Range extender

What is a feature of mild hybrid vehicles?

• They have no engine

• They use a 48-volt battery

• They can fly

• They have no wheels

What is unique about plug-in hybrids?

• They have no doors
