How do EVs work?

If you're considering making the switch to an EV, understanding how they work can help you make an informed decision. EVs operate by using an electric motor powered by a battery pack, which is recharged through a charging system. Key features, such as regenerative braking, charging, controller, and thermal management system, contribute to the efficiency and performance of EVs. By understanding these principles, you can better appreciate the advantages of EVs and make an informed decision when considering a switch from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.


Electric Motor

The electric motor is the heart of an EV, responsible for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the wheels.


Battery Pack

The battery pack is the primary energy storage system in an EV.


Charging System

Charging an EV involves connecting it to an external power source, typically through a charging station or a standard electrical outlet.


Controller

The controller serves as the "brain" of an electric vehicle, managing the flow of electrical energy between the battery pack, electric motor, and charging system.


Thermal Management System

Electric vehicles have a thermal management system that helps maintain the optimal temperature for the battery pack and other components.
