1. EV (Electric Vehicle) is the English abbreviation for electric vehicle. Although the technology of pure electric vehicles in China is already very mature, it is still difficult to realize the industrialization of pure electric vehicles in a short period of time due to various reasons. Industry experts point out that the popularization of charging stations is the key to the industrialization of pure electric vehicles. At the same time, the national industrial policy should provide a good environment for the application of pure electric vehicles to promote the industrialization process.
When a hybrid vehicle is traveling at low speeds, this mode is activated so that the vehicle can work only on the electricity provided by the battery, without engine intervention. Vehicle noise is virtually eliminated, while zero emissions are realized. This is one of the significant differences between a full hybrid system and a light hybrid (weak hybrid). When the EV button is pressed on a hybrid model, the system will restrict the engine from starting, meaning that only the electric motor will drive the vehicle, resulting in no noise or exhaust pollution to the surrounding environment.
2. HEV stands for Hybrid Electric Vehicle, which is a compromise between a conventional vehicle and a fully electric vehicle: it utilizes both the internal combustion engine of a conventional vehicle (which can be designed smaller) and the electric motor (PMSM or asynchronous motor) of a Purely Electric Vehicle (PEV) in a hybrid drive (including battery and inverter). The Purely Electric Vehicle utilizes a mixture of conventional internal combustion engines (which can be designed to be smaller) and electric motors (PMSMs or asynchronous motors) to drive the vehicle (which includes a battery and an inverter), which reduces the need for fossil fuels and improves fuel economy, thus saving energy and reducing emissions and mitigating greenhouse gas. The Toyota Prius and the Honda Tone Sutter are the two giants of HEV production.
3.PHEV refers to the new energy vehicle plug in hybrid electric vehicle, is specially designed through the plug in for charging hybrid electric vehicles. Generally need a special power supply pile for power supply, in the electric energy is sufficient, the use of electric motors to drive the vehicle, the power is insufficient, the engine will be involved in the drive or power generation link.
Electric vehicle (EV), a vehicle that is propelled by an electric motor or traction motor to move on the road. Three main types of EVs exist: the first is powered directly from an external power station; the second is initially powered from electricity stored in an external power source; and the third employs an on-board generator such as an internal combustion engine (in the case of hybrid electric vehicles) or a hydrogen fuel cell. Electric vehicles include electric cars, electric trains, electric trucks, electric airplanes, electric boats, electric motorcycles, scooters and electric airships.
If the source of electricity is a battery which derives its energy from an external power source, it is a pure electric vehicle or battery electric vehicle (BEV); if the electricity comes from a generator driven by an internal combustion engine, it is a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV); if it comes from solar panels, it is a solar car; and if it comes from a fuel cell, it is a fuel cell vehicle (FCEV). In addition to internal power, it can also come from an external source, such as a trolleybus.
