ELECTRIC DRIVE VS ICE

1. internal combustion engine

2. DEFINITION : heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit .

3. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT

4. Electric cars are presented as 'non-polluting' or 'zero emission' vehicles. But they are not necessarily less polluting than conventional vehicles!

5. Belgium produces 3 to 4 times less CO2 per kilometer than a classical car

6. HYBRID VEHICLES

7. TYPES OF HYBRID VEHUCLES: -PARALLEL HYBRID -SERIES HYBRID -PLUG-IN HYBRID

8. Regenerative braking systems that generate electric power to help keep the batteries charged

9. A car with a petrol engine and an electric motor.

10. ELECTRIC DRIVE

11. An electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of rotation of a shaft.

12. DIFFERENCES

13. -The type of energy required to run the engine

14. -IN TERMS OF ENGINE : The engines run on either diesel or gasoline fuel Electric vehicles , uses electric batteries to power up the vehicles
