How does an electric car work?

An electric car runs on electricity instead of gasoline. There is a controller that gives the electric motor energy. The controller controls how much power the motor has, based on how hard one pushes the accelerator. The electric car also runs on energy stored in its batteries.

Electric car and batteries!

Batteries are used to store energy in electric cars. One of the most common types of battery used in an electric car is a Lithium-ion battery.

• Lithium-ion batteries offer power and weigh the least among other types of batteries.
• This means that the batteries can hold a lot of energy because they are light.
• This is very important because less weight means that the car can go a long way on one charge.
• In addition, most parts of lithium-ion batteries can be recycled, which makes them a good choice for people who care about the environment. 

Electric vehicle fires!

• Electric vehicle (EV) fires have been blamed on both rising temperatures in cities and heat management systems in electric cars. It takes a few hundred degrees Celsius for a fire to start in an electric vehicle that has lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells.
• Experts believe that extremely hot weather and battery systems that don’t work well could hurt performance, but they don’t cause fires.
• Battery selection is an important part, and small differences in battery components could make a big difference in the output of the battery pack. There could be a rise in the temperature, but it may not cause a fire.
• For the battery component to get hot enough to start a fire, there could be a battery design, quality, or management fault as per auto experts.
