2020 TOYOTA RAV4

Image
Right about the time I’d passed 30 miles of all-electric driving with the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid, I knew this experience was going to be different. There was plenty of charge left.  With an expected EPA-rated 42-mile range from a big 18.1-kwh battery pack, the RAV4 Prime promises to transport commuters to work and back again without tailpipe emissions or the need to find another charge along the way. And then it becomes a 38-mpg hybrid after running through the charge, That and the Prime's suggested availability across the U.S., not just in California or a few select states, means it picks up right where the Chevy Volt left off .  Even better, it is the hottest crossover in these crossover-crazy times. The RAV4 is not only the top-selling SUV in the U.S. market for three years; the RAV4 Hybrid was also the top-selling hybrid in America last year—handily outselling the Toyota Prius.  The Prime finally checks nearly all the tech and special-needs boxes. It has a

How Do All-Electric Cars Work?
All-electric vehicles (EVs) have an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. The vehicle uses a large traction battery pack to power the electric motor and must be plugged in to a charging station or wall outlet to charge. Because it runs on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components, such as a fuel pump, fuel line, or fuel tank. Learn more about electric vehicles.



Key Components of an All-Electric Car
Battery (all-electric auxiliary): In an electric drive vehicle, the auxiliary battery provides electricity to power vehicle accessories.
Charge port: The charge port allows the vehicle to connect to an external power supply in order to charge the traction battery pack.
DC/DC converter: This device converts higher-voltage DC power from the traction battery pack to the lower-voltage DC power needed to run vehicle accessories and recharge the auxiliary battery.
Electric traction motor: Using power from the traction battery pack, this motor drives the vehicle's wheels. Some vehicles use motor generators that perform both the drive and regeneration functions.
Onboard charger: Takes the incoming AC electricity supplied via the charge port and converts it to DC power for charging the traction battery. It monitors battery characteristics such as voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge while charging the pack.
Power electronics controller: This unit manages the flow of electrical energy delivered by the traction battery, controlling the speed of the electric traction motor and the torque it produces.
Thermal system (cooling): This system maintains a proper operating temperature range of the engine, electric motor, power electronics, and other components.
Traction battery pack: Stores electricity for use by the electric traction motor.
Transmission (electric): The transmission transfers mechanical power from the electric traction motor to drive the wheels.

Tesla Cybertruck: Everything we shoud  know about it…. Tesla’s promising big electric range, huge towing capacity and brutal acceleration for the Cybertruck with a huge towing capacity and brutal acceleration for the Cybertruck. For tesla Cybertruck tutorial video click here #cybertruck It may not be elegant, but it sure is popular and it's got specs to die for. Tesla's  Cybertruck is one of the most polarizing automobile designs to debut in decades. In fact, you could say it's  driving a wedge  between the various factions of the automotive community. Some people think it looks brutal, aggressive and rugged like some kind of  electric, dystopian Matrix bro-dozer. Why is the Tesla Cybertruck designed the way it is? Any design usually has its lovers and haters.  Remember the Apple AirPods?  But, more often than not, they either become a commercial hit after becoming an icon or they become a source of study for the future to learn how  not to

TRITON H: Electric suv, 700 miles range

Image
New Jersey based Triton Solar released the basic details about its fully electric made eight-passenger SUV in this week, called the Model H , which the company says can travel upto about of 700 miles that is (1260 kmph) on a single charge of its 200-kilowatt-hour battery pack installed in it. A video on Triton model h Triton Solar says the Model H will be sold in two platforms: Standard and Performance. Both will come in standard with all-wheel drive models derived from our motors -- one for each wheel, but not located at the hub ,and those will be good for either 1,000 horsepower for the base model or 1,500 hp for the performance model. So basically the standard model will be powered with a 1000 hp and the performance model will powered with a 1500 hp. Of  we can say that it doesn't look exceptionally aerodynamic. It comes with that massive, 200-kWh battery pack, Triton company says the Model H tips the scales at 5,300 pounds. Triton also says the Model

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars: Everything you need to know

Image
When it comes to alternative power sources for engines, to the mind of the general public, the fuel cell battery currently lags behind. Yet experts believe that hydrogen fuel cell cars will catch up. But how does the technology work? What are the pros and cons? Read on for the answers to all the key questions. Fewer pollutants, less noise – these are among the many great hopes for electrically powered vehicles. When it comes to electromobility, most people think of vehicles with a large battery that you charge from a wall outlet. Yet there is another propulsion technology that traffic experts are expecting a lot from – including an alternative to long charging times. The technology in question is the hydrogen engine, also known as the fuel cell electric vehicle, or FCEV. Before we discuss the pros and cons of hydrogen fuel cell cars, as well as the costs and risks involved, we’ll first briefly outline how this technology works. 6 questions about hydrogen fuel cell cars: you’r
