Hybrid cars are designed on running on both an electric motor and an internal combustion system‚ and Electric cars run entirely on electricity without having an internal combustion system. In fact‚ both of these cars contain a rechargeable battery that can be charged externally‚ which helps in reducing the usage of gasoline which can diminish air pollution and save the environment. For example‚ a recent study by Experian Automotive reports that 40% more hybrid cars were sold in the U.S. in 2012 than

Abstract – Hybrid electric vehicle is a need of the today’s world because of the fact that it is pollution free and has more fuels efficiency. Flyback converter plays important role in hybrid electric vehicles because it is an isolated DC-DC boost converter. In the proposed work simulation of flyback converter has been done in the SIMULINK tool of MATLAB and voltage and current waveforms are obtained .The results of simulations matches the theoretical calculations and which led to the development

Air Powered Car A compressed air car is a car that uses a motor powered by compressed air. The car can be powered solely by air‚ or combined (as in a hybrid electric vehicle) with gasoline‚ diesel‚ ethanol‚ or an electric plant with regenerative braking. History Compressed air has been used since the 19th century to power mine locomotives and trams in cities such as Paris (via a central‚ city-level‚ compressed air energy distribution system)‚ and was previously the basis of naval torpedo propulsion

in hybrid. Essentially it provides all the advantages of a hybrid car‚ but increases its electric range by allowing it to plug into the electric grid and further reducing fuel consumption. This will especially be efficient in a city driving setting where operating at short distances at lower speeds will allow the vehicle to run in electric mode a majority of the time and qualify it as ZEV (zero-emission-vehicle) in cities (Kang‚

manufacturing costs associated with these technologies often would increase the price of the vehicle to the point where the fuel savings are negligible in comparison. * There are also concerns over the environmental impact of the hybrid car battery which is usually made from either nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion. Both are considered more environmentally friendly than lead batteries‚ but nickel-based batteries are known as carcinogens and there are concerns about the health problems they can cause

Tesla‚ the good thing is that not many pure electric vehicles exist in Europe at present. And the ones who have announced their plans to launch a pure electric car will take at least two to three years to execute them. Till now most developments in the European EV industry has been towards building plug-in cars rather than pure electric ones. BMW‚ VW’s Audi and Porsche‚ and Mercedes all have invested huge sums to produce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. According to Professor Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer
