What is Electric Car?

An electric car is essentially an automatic vehicle with an electric motor powering it. A fully electric car does not run on or have a petrol or diesel engine. When the accelerator is pressed, power is transferred from the battery to the electric motor. The motor is powered resulting in the drive shafts turning the wheels.

Benefits of Electric Car

Lower running costs: The running cost of an electric car is much lower than an equivalent petrol or diesel car. Electric cars use electricity to charge their batteries instead of using fossil fuels like petrol or diesel. Electric cars are more efficient, and that combined with the electricity cost means that charging an electric car is cheaper than filling petrol or diesel for your travel requirements. Using renewable energy sources can make the use of electric cars more eco-friendly.

Low maintenance cost: Electric cars have very low maintenance costs because they don’t have as many moving parts as an internal combustion car. The servicing requirements for electric cars are lesser than the conventional petrol or diesel cars. Therefore, the yearly cost of running an electric car is significantly low.

Zero Tailpipe Emissions: Driving an electric car can help you reduce your carbon footprint because there will be zero tailpipe emissions.

Tax and financial benefits: There are multiple policies and incentives offered by the government to encourage people to purchase electric cars.

Electric cars are easy to drive and quiet: Electric cars don’t have gears and are very convenient to drive. There are no complicated controls, just accelerate, brake, and steer. When you want to charge your car, just plug it in to a home or public charger. Electric cars are also quiet, so they reduce noise pollution that traditional cars contribute to.

Convenience of charging at home: Simply plug your car in at your home charger for 4-5 hours before you plan to go. If you are able to get a charger where you park at home, it is very convenient to plan your journeys in advance.

No noise pollution: Electric cars have the silent functioning capability as there is no engine under the hood. No engine means no noise. The electric motor functions so silently that you need to peek into your instrument panel to check if it is ON.

Key Components of an Electric Car

Battery (all-electric auxiliary): In an electric drive car, the auxiliary battery provides electricity to power car accessories.

Charge port: The charge port allows the car to connect to an external power supply in order to charge the traction battery pack.

DC/DC converter: This device converts higher-voltage DC power from the traction battery pack to the lower-voltage DC power needed to run car accessories and recharge the auxiliary battery.

Electric traction motor: Using power from the traction battery pack, this motor drives the car's wheels. Some cars use motor generators that perform both the drive and regeneration functions.

Onboard charger: Takes the incoming AC electricity supplied via the charge port and converts it to DC power for charging the traction battery. It also communicates with the charging equipment and monitors battery characteristics such as voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge while charging the pack.

Power electronics controller: This unit manages the flow of electrical energy delivered by the traction battery, controlling the speed of the electric traction motor and the torque it produces.

Thermal system (cooling): This system maintains a proper operating temperature range of the engine, electric motor, power electronics, and other components.

Traction battery pack: Stores electricity for use by the electric traction motor.

Transmission (electric): The transmission transfers mechanical power from the electric traction motor to drive the wheels.

Important Factors to Know When Buying an Electric Car

Driving Range
The driving range is an important consideration for electric car selection. Instead of relying solely on the manufacturer-specified driving range, consider reviews to better understand the actual driving distance the electric car can cover. This pragmatic approach is essential for informed considerations in electric vehicle selection, as it provides a more accurate depiction of the car's capabilities on the road.

Tax Benefits
The government helps lower electric vehicle costs with incentives and tax breaks. Verify the tax benefits to know how much you will save when buying an eco-friendly car. These government efforts make electric cars more affordable and encourage people to choose greener transportation, which is good for the environment.

Battery
The most expensive part of an electric car is the battery. So, when looking for an electric car, get more details about the battery range and specifications. Find the cost of replacing the battery and how long it will last. It is better to research electric cars with batteries that meet your needs and preferences. The battery pack usually comes with a warranty from the manufacturer that covers the time or driving distance. So, always pay attention to the battery pack's warranty period.

Charging Options
There are different charging options for electric cars, including standard charging, slow charging, and fast charging. You can find most of the fast chargers in public places, which are expensive to install. To install chargers in the home, standard and slow charging is feasible. So, do look for the various charging options before buying an electric car.

Hardware and Software
Electric cars come with many software and hardware components. The important part of using it is that it has to be updated frequently. Some manufacturers offer the updates for free, and others charge a little amount, so be aware of the important software and hardware and its updates.

Maintenance Cost
When choosing an electric car, one important consideration for electric car selection is the maintenance cost. Just like any car, if you don't take care of an electric car, its performance can be affected. Electric cars usually need less maintenance due to fewer moving parts, but if they do break down, repairs can be costly. The spare parts for electric cars are more costly compared to traditional ICE cars, and finding mechanics skilled in repairing them can be a challenge. So, when considering which electric car to choose, remember that maintenance costs play a significant role in the overall decision-making process. But with an increase in popularity of electric cars over the years, the availability of skilled mechanics will get increased, hence you can witness a significant reduction in maintenance cost.

Usability
When evaluating an electric car's practical usability, it is essential to align it with your specific needs. Consider the distance you usually cover daily and know your regular driving range. If you are living in a metro city, then it would be the right choice to buy an electric car to commute to nearby places.

Insuring an Electric Car
The insurance cost of electric cars is higher than that of ICE cars. That doesn't mean that they are less safe and prone to accidents than other cars. The increased insurance premium is mainly because electric cars have higher price tags than regular cars. Also, the cost of repair is much higher for electric cars.

What Servicing is Required on Electric Cars?

Electric Motor and Car Battery
Unlike fuel cars, electric motors have very few moving parts. This means they won't need much in the way of ongoing maintenance and repairs. An electric car battery is also impressively long-lasting, with some having a battery life of up to 20 years. So, you can be confident your electric battery won't need replacing any time soon. This is especially true if you’re charging your EV efficiently. During a routine service, a technician will plug your car into a diagnostic machine and run a few tests. They’ll check your battery health, including the performance of individual cells, and make sure there are no fault codes that need attention. They’ll also have a good look at your electrical cables to check for any loose connections or damage.

Coolant and Oil
Electric cars have a cooling system that chills the battery and keeps it working at an optimum temperature. The liquid coolant might need a little top-up every so often, a quick visual inspection during a routine service will pick this up. Oil is used in transmission, as well as wheel bearings and some other mechanical parts. You won’t need to have your oil checked in the traditional sense, but oil-lubricated parts will need a once-over to make sure there are no leaks and there’s enough lubricant to keep everything working smoothly.

Brakes
Most EVs use regenerative braking (aka recuperation braking), which means less harsh wear and tear on brake pads and discs. As with any car, brake fluid will need to be checked and changed regularly to keep it functioning well. Although likely to last longer, brakes will wear out and need to be replaced periodically.

Suspension
As with traditional combustion engine cars, suspension springs and dampers will wear out over time. The increased weight of an electric battery might mean these have a slightly shorter shelf-life, but they’ll be checked as part of your routine service.

Other Parts
As with non-electric vehicles, there will be other car parts that need to be checked and replaced regularly, like wiper blades, cabin filters and tyres. Given the extra weight of the electric battery, tyres do wear down slightly quicker, but a good lease agreement will include regular tyre replacements as part of your maintenance package.

Safety Precautions for Electric Cars

When a vehicle accident occurs, move the vehicle to a safe place, turn OFF the vehicle and remove the auxiliary battery (12 V) terminal to prevent high voltage electricity from flowing.
If electric wires are exposed from inside or outside the vehicle, do not touch the wires. Also, do not touch the high voltage electric wire (orange), connector, or any of the electric components and devices. This may cause electric shock and lead to injuries.
When a vehicle accident occurs and the high voltage battery is damaged, harmful gas and electrolytes may leak. Be careful not to touch the leaked liquid.
When you suspect leakage of inflammable gas and other harmful gases, open the windows and evacuate to a safe place. If any leaked fluid comes in contact with your eyes or skin, immediately clean the affected area thoroughly with tap water or saline solution and have doctors inspect it as soon as possible.
If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant for electrical fires. If it is impossible to extinguish the fire in the early stage, maintain a safe distance away from the vehicle and immediately call your local fire emergency responders. Also, advise them that an electric vehicle is involved.
If the fire spreads to the high voltage battery, large amounts of water is needed to put out the fire. Using small amounts of water or fire extinguishers not meant for electrical fires could cause serious injury or death from electrical shocks. If you cannot put out the fire immediately, the high voltage battery may explode. Evacuate to a safe place and do not let other people approach the site. Contact the fire department and notify them of an electric vehicle fire.
If the vehicle is flooded with water, immediately turn OFF the vehicle and evacuate to a safe place. Contact the fire department or an authorized dealer/service partner.
If you tow the vehicle while the rear wheels are touching the ground, the vehicle motor may generate electricity and the motor components may be damaged or a fire may occur.
When a vehicle fire occurs due to the battery, there is a risk of a second fire. Contact your local fire emergency responders when towing the vehicle.
When you clean the motor compartment, do not use high pressure water to wash. This may cause an electric shock due to a discharge in high voltage electricity, or damage the vehicle's electric system.
Never disconnect the high voltage cut-off switch except in an emergency situation. Serious problems may occur, such as the vehicle will not start.

Ultimate Guide

Q: How does an electric engine of the car work?

A: Electric cars function by plugging the car into a charge point. Like all electrical devices, it then begins to take electricity from the grid and charge the car. The car stores the electricity in rechargeable batteries that then power an electric motor, which turns the wheels as a normal fuel-enginge would. Electric cars accelerate faster than cars with traditional fuel engines -- so they feel lighter to drive as there are no gears to go through.

Q: Why do electric cars feel faster?

A: First off, electric cars often feel faster. This is because electric motors produce maximum torque at 0 rpm, which makes acceleration feel more instantaneous at low speeds compared with gas-powered cars.

Q: How far can an electric car travel on a full charge?

A: No two electric cars are the same! And like petrol/diesel cars, a lot can depend on the amount an electric car car can travel with a full tank battery. Put simply, when you see the max mileage advertised this is based on ideal driving conditions. But like their petrol/diesel counterparts, the full range of a full battery can be lessened based on things such as weather, the number of adults in the car, driving conditions, style of driving etc. An electric cars range is dependent on the battery size (kWh). The higher the electric car battery kWh, the more power it has and also the further it will travel.

Q: What are the parts of an electric car called?

A: Electric cars have a whopping 90% less moving parts than a petrol or diesel car. Here's a brief breakdown of the major parts that keep an electric cars motoring:
Electric Engine/Motor: Provides the power to rotate the wheels. It can be DC/AC type however you will find that AC motors are the most common.
Inverter: This converts the electric current in the form of a Direct Current (DC) into the Alternating Current (AC)
Drivetrain: All electric cars use a single-speed transmission which then sends power from the motor to the wheels.
Batteries: This stores the electricity required to run the car. The higher the battery kW, the higher the driving range will be.
Charging: This is the location that houses your plug inlet which you then connect to an outlet or electric car charging point to charge your battery.

Q: What is an electric four wheeled car?

A: An electric car is a mode of transport which is powered by electricity. Unlike conventional cars that use a gasoline (petrol) or diesel-powered engine, electric cars and trucks use an electric motor powered by electricity from batteries or a fuel cell. A key advantage of electric cars over other forms of transport is that they hold the potential to significantly reduce pollution by having zero exhaust emissions.

Q: How does an electric car work?

A: Electric cars have an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine (ICE). The car uses a large traction battery pack to power the motor and must be plugged in to a charging station or wall outlet to charge. Most electric cars use lithium-ion batteries, which have higher energy density, longer life span and higher power than most other practical batteries.

Q: Do electric cars offer improved user-friendliness?

A: Yes, electric cars are designed with a lower centre of gravity, leading to improved comfort, handling and responsiveness.

Q: Why are electric cars more powerful?

A: The reason for this is that electric motors are much simpler than internal combustion engines. Therefore, electric cars can provide full torque — the force that drives the vehicle forward — from 0 kilometers, resulting in instant acceleration.

Q: Are electric cars as affordable as gasoline cars?

A: Some consumers have shied away from electric and hybrid models under the assumption that electric car ownership comes with a hefty price tag. However, electric cars are now much cheaper to buy and usually more affordable in the long-run. The comes down to cheaper ‘fuel’ cost per kilometer, as electricity is cheaper than gas and electric cars are more efficient than fuel cars.

Q: Are electric cars as fast as fuel cars?

A: Many people associate power with the deep sound of revving engines and mistake electric cars’ silence to mean they are lacking in speed and performance. In fact, the opposite is true. Electric cars accelerate faster than gas-powered cars and have more than enough speed for every-day usage. The reason for this is that electric motors are much simpler than internal combustion engines. Therefore, electric cars can provide full torque -- the force that drives the vehicle forward -- from 0 kilometers, resulting in instant acceleration. In comparison, traditional combustion engines take longer to get engine-generated power to the wheels and might need to rev up in order to reach maximum torque. With traditional fuel cars, the power also has to go through more moving parts, like the gearbox, making them less efficient.

Q: Will the electric car lose charge when it is parked?

A: No. An electric car usually does not lose charge when it is parked. The battery will only slightly drain even if the EV is left parked for a longer time period.

Q: Who should carry out the maintenance of an electric vehicle?

A: Electric vehicles require qualified professionals for checks and any repairs. The high voltages and amperage in the traction system (between 400-700 volts) necessitate a safety procedure so that maintenance can be carried out under the best possible conditions. Also, when having your vehicle serviced, or even for routine maintenance procedures, it is strongly recommended to contact a certified mechanic to take care of your vehicle. The law requires that they be certified to work on electrical systems, and the qualification must be renewed annually.

Q: Does an electric vehicle battery require maintenance?

A: Yes. It should be maintained regularly. The battery of an electric vehicle is one of its most important components. The motor is powered by what’s called a traction battery. It defines the range of the electric vehicle, sometimes in the hundreds of kilometers depending on the model. The way a vehicle is used also affects battery life.

Q: Is there torque in an electric car?

A: Electric cars do not need a multi-speed gearbox since they work with an electric motor. Internal combustion engines need more than one gear at different ratios for power output. However, electric motors produce consistent torque at any RPM over a certain range. Electric motors do not feel the need to generate torque through revolution by applying power instantly compared to internal combustion engines. In this context, electric car manufacturers use precisely calculated gear ratios to ensure high efficiency of their electric motors and a high level of comfort without the need for gear shifting.
