Light electric vehicles are a viable way of reducing urban congestion and local pollutant emissions. Electric bicycles combine electrical and human power, hence they represent an appealing class of hybrid vehicles in such a context. Differently from other hybrid vehicles, the energy management of hybrid bicycles is little investigated in the literature. In this…
As more Americans become environmentally conscious, eco-friendly vehicles have emerged as an attractive alternative to gas-powered cars. Drivers looking to leave a smaller carbon footprint will also enjoy knowing that driving a fuel-efficient car is a financially smart move. According to NerdWallet’s analysis, electric-vehicle drivers can save over $10, on car…
The Mahindra e2oPlus comes with a new powertrain powered by a 72V lithium-ion battery that has increases the driving range to 140km. The powertrain makes about 40 bhp and 91 Nm of peak torque has a top speed of 85 kmph. A full charge for the e2oPlus takes about 9 hours but Mahindra also has QuickCharge that helps charge the car in just about an hour. The e2oPlus…
Fuel cell vehicles use hydrogen gas to power an electric motor. Unlike conventional vehicles which run on gasoline or diesel, fuel cell cars and trucks combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, which runs a motor. Since they’re powered entirely by electricity, fuel cell vehicles are considered electric vehicles (“EVs”)—but unlike other EVs, their range…
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are powered by an internal combustion engine or other propulsion source that can run on conventional or alternative fuel in combination with an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery. HEVs combine the benefits of high fuel economy and low tail pipe emissions with the power and range of conventional vehicles. A wide…
HEVs and PHEVs require the same general maintenance as conventional vehicles, but EVs require less maintenance because they have fewer moving parts and fluids to change. Maintenance needs and safety requirements for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are similar to those of conventional vehicles, while all-electric vehicles…
Hybrid cars are becoming more popular and more common. Basically, a hybrid car is one that uses two or more engines i.e. an electric motor and a conventional engine (either petrol or diesel). The electric engine powers the car at lower speeds and gas engine powers it at higher speeds. A hybrid car like Toyota Prius and Civic Hybrid not only conserves fuel but…
Search the internet for “human-electric hybrid” and you will see some prototypes of cars, and many attempts at powered bikes or enclosed scooters. But where is the dreamer’s sustainable vehicle: a weather-proof car that can carry two, compete with fossil-fueled traffic, and provide the opportunity to get a workout while extending our range? Would it surprise…
After many miles and cargo carrying trips I have prepared the IZIP Metro electric bike review for you! This bike was designed to carry your stuff easily over hills and through the headwinds to let you enjoy the ride. Find out how this bike performed and if it is a fit for you. The features of this bike: Make sure you check out the video and pictures with the…
Hybrid electric vehicles-HEVs-combine a gasoline-powered combustion engine with an electric motor to offer a more environmentally-friendly driving experiences. Hybrid cars are classified according to the type of drivetrain or powertrain they feature, which determines how the engine and the motor work together to power the car. Parallel hybrids and series hybrids…
Short-term certificates are sequences of technical and professional courses that are industry focused and designed for workforce preparation. They provide access to targeted, short-term training in a discipline, and completers may sit for specific certification exams. Courses in certificate programs also apply toward technical certificates and associate degree…
