electric powered cars

[ROAA STUDIO]

Yes, we can also google the same site but YOU were asking about locally available electric cars. It is totally pointless to read about electric cars abroad if your question only covers within the Philippines, right?

sir youre right......

sir youre right......

its so happen na nakita lang po sa net.....kaya po nilagay ko na rin.....


sir, are electric cars/vehicles a hybrid...? tanong lang din po....

sir meron din po bang thread dto po sa tsikot regarding hybrid cars /vehicles .....tanong lang din po

A hybrid, is, by definition, a car that can run on two sources of power. If the electric vehicle doesn't have another motor (whether it be diesel, gasoline, LPG, whatever) it's not a hybrid.

Now the Prius is a gasoline car with an electric hybrid system. The upcoming Chevrolet Volt on the other hand, is an electric car with a gasoline hybrid charging system. There's a big difference in the application. In the Prius, the electric system is there merely to supplement the gasoline system. In the Volt, the electric system provides the main motive power of the car, and the gasoline system is merely used to top-off the batteries.

tanong na rin po.. (the gasoline system is merely used to top-off the batteries) pag nasabi po ito possible rin po na humaba po yung distance na pedeng itravel po ng mga electric cars....

sir ghosthunter

sa inyo ko po rin ito nakuha http://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums...ead.php?t=5527
salamat po sa link..
sir me mga katanungan din po ako kung uubra po... using yung alternator system... to recharge electric car batterries?

It means cars like the Chevy Volt don't have a direct mechanical link from the gasoline engine to the drive wheels. The drive wheels are linked to the electric motors & battery system. You still have to carry a fossil fuel engine to charge the batteries on the fly if the stored charge starts to run low.

Cars like the Chevy Volt are meant to be an interim electric car that can extend it's driving range by supplemental power from an on-board generator. Otherwise, the power to recharge it's batteries should come from outside like power stations. The question is, is the electricity from the national grid "greener" than if you just burn fuel in a high efficiency internal combustion engine?

Using the gasoline engine as a battery charger, the Volt can go further than a pure electric, but it's not nearly as efficient as the Toyota Prius on gasoline power, only getting fuel economy similar to a conventional gasoline-powered car despite the theoretical advantages of having the gas engine run at constant speed instead of being variable as in a normal car.

Solar panels are almost worthless. The area on a regular car that can be used for solar panels is just enough to trickle charge a tiny bit, or possibly to power a very very small electric motor (which is why solar racers are very slow, despite weighing very, very little and having five times as much solar panelling as the Prius.
