Torque vs speed

Image
  Torque is a measure of rotational force, and it is a critical parameter for electric vehicle motors. In an electric motor, torque is directly proportional to the current flowing through the motor windings, and it is also affected by the magnetic field generated by the motor. In an electric vehicle, torque is particularly important because it determines the vehicle's acceleration and pulling power. Higher torque means faster acceleration and better performance, particularly in heavy vehicles or during uphill driving. Electric vehicle motors have the advantage of being able to produce maximum torque from zero RPM, unlike traditional internal combustion engines that require a certain RPM to reach maximum torque. This means that electric vehicles can provide smooth and instant acceleration, which contributes to their overall driving experience. Furthermore, electric vehicle motors have the ability to control torque output very precisely, which enables advanced features such as regene

Speed vs torque -2

 Comparing a high-speed electric vehicle and a heavy-weight carrying capacity electric vehicle is an interesting exercise because these two types of EVs have different design requirements and performance characteristics. In terms of the motor, a high-speed electric vehicle requires a motor with a high power output and a high rotational speed to achieve high speed. Typically, high-speed EVs use a high-voltage AC motor, which can produce a high power output while maintaining high efficiency. The motor may also be paired with a high-performance gearbox or direct-drive system to optimize the vehicle's speed and acceleration. On the other hand, a heavy-weight carrying capacity electric vehicle requires a motor with high torque output, which is essential for carrying heavy loads and climbing steep grades. Typically, these vehicles use a low-speed/high-torque AC motor or a DC motor, which can provide high torque output at low RPMs. The motor may also be paired with a multi-speed gearbox o

Electric Road Systems A solution for electric vehicle range and critical metal shortages.                 In this article, let's learn why electric road systems are a much better solution.                    These allow vehicles to charge as they are driving, giving electric vehicles unlimited range, including heavy trucks. All roads don’t need to be fully electrified since vehicles are still expected to have batteries. There just needs to be charging zones along major highways and busy bottlenecks in cities. This is the only current electrification system suitable for heavy trucks. Although heavy trucks are only a small percentage of the vehicles on the road, they produce about one-third of the emissions because they travel long distances at sustained power outputs. Electric roads also make a lot of sense for private cars because they allow smaller batteries to be used, greatly reducing vehicle cost while also reducing weight and, therefore, performance. The capital cost of road e

Your traditional IC Engine vehicle have a battery. But how are you charging it?

 In a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle, the battery plays a different role than in an electric vehicle. In an internal combustion engine vehicle, the battery is primarily used to power the vehicle's electrical system, including the lights, radio, and other accessories. The battery is also used to start the engine by providing power to the starter motor. The battery in a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle is charged by the vehicle's alternator, which is driven by the engine. When the engine is running, the alternator generates electrical power that is used to charge the battery and power the vehicle's electrical system. When the engine is not running, the battery provides power to the vehicle's electrical system and accessories. The battery in a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle is not designed to be discharged and recharged repeatedly like a battery in an electric vehicle. The primary function of the battery in an internal combusti

ELECTRICAL VEHICLES(EV)

About Electric vehicles: What is EV: An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle that uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. It can be powered by a collector system, with electricity from extravehicular sources, or it can be powered autonomously by a battery (sometimes charged by solar panels, or by converting fuel to electricity using fuel cells or a generator). General layout History of an EV: Electric motive power started in 1827, when Hungarian priest Ányos Jedlik built the first crude but viable electric motor, which used a stator, rotor, and commutator; and the next year he used it to power a small car. In 1835, professor Sibrandus Stratingh of the University of Groningen, in the Netherlands, built a small-scale electric car, and sometime between 1832 and 1839, Robert Anderson of Scotland invented the first crude electric carriage, powered by non-rechargeable primary cells. American blacksmith and inventor Thomas Davenport built a toy electric locomotive, powered by a primiti
