What Powers Your Car?Cars can be powered in several different ways, from gasoline to electric batteries,What are the differences between EV, HEV, PHEV and REEV?.If you're considering buying an electric vehicle (EV), you may come across some of this terminology. Here we break down the key types of EVs.
Gas Cars I 汽油或柴油汽车
Conventional vehicles use an internal combustion engine fueled by gasoline or diesel to power the wheels. Electricity is used for some accessories, but is not used to move the vehicle.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) I 纯电动汽车
BEVs are also known as plug-in or pure EVs. They use an electric motor and run solely on battery power, meaning they produce zero emissions from driving.
BEVs can use a standard power outlet in your home to recharge or a public charging station. Fast charging outlets are also available from vehicle manufacturers and can also be installed by a qualified electrician in your home to charge your car faster.
BEVs can also draw some charge with a regenerative braking system. That means the kinetic energy created from braking is converted into electrical power that can charge the car.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) I 混合动力汽车
HEVs run on a combination of petrol or diesel and battery power. It combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor. These cars do not plug in to recharge.
Like BEVs, HEVs use a regenerative braking system to recharge the battery. While you still need to fill up with petrol, each tank will get you further than a comparable petrol car.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle(PHEV)I 插电式混合动力汽车
Similar to HEVs, PHEVs are powered by a combination of petrol or diesel fuel and battery power. The key difference is that you can also recharge the battery using a standard power outlet in your home or public charging station. PHEVs can drive greater distances using just battery power. When the battery power drops, the petrol or diesel engine will be used.
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle(FCEV) I 燃料电池电动汽车
FCEVs convert fuel into energy through an electrochemical reaction with hydrogen and oxygen. This produces electricity which powers an electric motor.
FCEVs are an emerging technology in Australia and are not yet available for everyday use.
Range Extended Electric Vehicle(REEV) I 增程式电动车
This type of car only relies on the power of the generator to run. The power output of the engine it is equipped with is only used to drive the generator to generate electricity. That is, a small internal combustion engine generator set is installed on the basis of the electric car, which can actively provide additional power for the electric car, thereby extending the mileage of the electric car. It has certain advantages in endurance. Generally, it can travel more than 1,000 kilometers when full of fuel.
