Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicle: Electric vehicles are much faster than conventional vehicles that run on fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel. Electric vehicles also perform better than ICE vehicles. Their improved speed and performance are largely because of their altogether different powertrain technology. If you also wonder why and how electric vehicles perform better than conventional cars. Check out some of the major reasons for this below.

Electric Vehicle Torque

Electric vehicles are capable of producing torque even when the RPM is zero. On the other hand, ICE vehicles need RPMs to make torque. EVs generate instant torque right from the point when the driver presses the accelerator and it allows electric vehicles to achieve a faster pace in less time than the conventional vehicles. 

Regenerative Breaking Technology

Most of the Electric vehicles use regenerative braking that allows them to conserve energy when the brakes are applied. This energy can be used later for acceleration. When the driver applies brakes in the car, the electric motor in the EV reacts as a generator which converts the Kinetic energy into electric energy and conserves it in the battery which can be used later. 

Power Delivery System

EVs are capable of using the motor’s power in a constant manner throughout the powerband. While fossil fuel-powered engines have highs and lows in the powerband. For this reason, EVs are able to maintain their acceleration on most of the speeds. While ICE vehicles are prone to losing power as they reach on their peak performance. 

Better Weight Distribution

Electric vehicles commonly have a lower centre of gravity as compared to conventional cars. It is mainly because the weight of the batteries is placed under the floor of the vehicle. A lower center of gravity assists in handling which improves the acceleration of the car.
