Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are not purely electric vehicles as they rely on both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor for propulsion.

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) rely solely on electricity stored in their batteries for propulsion.

The electric motor in an electric vehicle converts electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy, which is used to power the wheels.

Regenerative braking systems in electric vehicles capture energy during braking and convert it back into electricity, which is stored in the battery.

Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in electric vehicles due to their high energy density and long lifespan.

PHEVs have a larger battery capacity compared to HEVs, allowing them to travel longer distances on electric power alone.

Permanent magnet motors are commonly used in electric vehicles due to their high efficiency and power density.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) use hydrogen as their primary energy source, which is converted into electricity through a chemical reaction in the fuel cell.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are commonly used in FCEVs due to their high efficiency and durability.

HEVs combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, resulting in improved fuel efficiency compared to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles.

Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in hybrid electric vehicles due to their high energy density and long lifespan.

Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them more environmentally friendly than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles.

CCS Combo is a common type of charging connector used for electric vehicles in Europe and North America.

FCEVs can be refueled with hydrogen in a matter of minutes, making them more convenient for long-distance travel compared to BEVs.

Inverters are commonly used in electric vehicles to convert DC power from the battery into AC power for the electric motor.
