Introduction: The basic components of pure electric vehicles

Description: Motor: The power device of an electric vehicle, it is an electromagnetic device that realizes the conversion of electric energy based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, and is represented by the letter M in the circuit. Its main function is to generate rotational motion as a power source for electrical equipment or various machines.

Generator: Its main function is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, and it is represented by the letter G in the circuit.

Cooling system: It usually consists of a radiator, a water pump, a fan, a thermostat, a coolant temperature gauge, and a drain switch. Electric vehicle engines use two cooling methods, namely air cooling and water cooling. Usually, electric vehicle engines use water cooling.

Transmission system: The chassis of a pure electric vehicle. Because its electric motor has good traction characteristics, the transmission system of a battery vehicle does not require a clutch and a transmission. The speed control is achieved by the controller changing the speed of the motor through the speed control system.

Driving system: The driving system is similar to that of a fuel vehicle, mainly including the frame, axle, wheels, and suspension. The function of the electric vehicle driving system is to receive the torque transmitted by the motor through the transmission system, and to generate traction on the electric vehicle through the adhesion between the drive wheel and the road surface to ensure the normal driving of the whole vehicle. In addition, it should mitigate the impact and vibration caused by the uneven road surface to the vehicle body as much as possible to ensure the normal driving of the electric vehicle.

Braking system: The braking system is the general term for all braking and deceleration systems equipped in electric vehicles. Its function is to reduce the speed or stop the electric vehicle in motion, or to keep the electric vehicle that has stopped moving. The braking system includes brakes and brake transmission devices. Modern electric vehicles also have anti-lock braking devices installed in their braking systems. Similar to fuel vehicles, the braking system of pure electric vehicles is also composed of two sets of devices: driving brakes and parking brakes.

Of course, the vehicle connection equipment is driven by the above parts, and other vehicle equipment has many different functions. For more information, you can search or visit: https://www.omgevcable.com
