Different Types of Electric Vehicles Explained
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV): These vehicles are powered entirely by electricity and are more efficient than hybrid and plug-in hybrids. BEVs are also known as All-Electric Vehicles (AEV). Instead of gasoline, these vehicles run solely on battery power. The electricity used to drive the car is stored in a large battery pack which can be charged by plugging it into the electricity grid.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): Hybrid Electric vehicles use an internal combustion (usually gasoline) engine and a battery-powered motor powertrain. The gasoline engine drives the car and charges the battery when empty. These vehicles are not as efficient as fully electric or plug-in hybrid cars. A hybrid electric vehicle cannot be plugged in to charge the battery. Instead, the battery is charged by regenerative braking and internal combustion engines, and unlike most electric cars, hybrid electric vehicles charge their batteries through regenerative braking.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV): Uses an internal combustion engine and a battery charged from an external socket (they have a plug). This means the vehicle’s battery can be charged with electricity rather than the engine. PHEVs are more efficient than HEVs but less efficient than BEVs.
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV): Electric energy is produced from chemical energy. For example, a hydrogen FCEV. FCEVs are also known as Zero-Emission Vehicles. They employ fuel cell technology to generate the electricity required to run the car. The chemical energy of the fuel is converted directly into electric energy.

BEV is the by far the best kind of EV. Battery energy density is about to double and costs continue to get cheaper and cheaper.
It’s amazing to see how quickly hybrid and electric vehicle technologies are advancing. I can’t wait to see how they evolve in the coming years!
hey please help me am in Zimbabwe but i would like to learn about this electric vehicles .l only know about petrol and diesel i have basic mechanic certificate
Electric vehicle:
Produce emissions when charging because that energy comes from nuclear power plants, coal power plants and oil plants.
Depends on the electric grid, which depends on the oil, coal, nuclear, ect.
Is not cost effective, the car is pensive and the replacement of the battery pack cost over $10,000
Produce an ultrasonic magnetic noise that annoy many animals, specially at low speed.
Catch an unstoppable fire that burn with a temperature of more than 2000-degree Celsius if they get into an accident or if the battery pack have some problems.
There's no comments related to safety. That's one major aspect to be considered in selection.
Thanks. Indeed other
The EU has codemned and renovef all subsidies for all with a gas motor. They are a joke. People are sure they are getting good milage. The polution from the gas motor is to be banned.
0:44 3:29 7:46 and 10:38 are my favorite i love all kinds of electrified cars
good informative vdu regarding all types of electric vehicles .
Thanks
best car
The best vehicle is the new hybrid cars. It is true one can plug in at home/on the road but it is better to get gas delivered to the home or office I think.
The optima is not a plug in…

Another problem with PHEV's is that at some point the weight of the battery harms fuel efficiency more then it helps it. Not necessarily to the point to where it's worse then a conventional vehicle, but definitely to where it's worse then a conventional hybrid with a smaller battery. If you only ever plan on using gas then you are wasting money compared to a normal hybrid.
Also Why do places always mention regen braking as a power source? Don't get me wrong, it's a great way of increasing fuel efficiency, but it's never going to generate more power then it took to get the wheels moving in the first place. It's still powered by whatever gave it the power to move in the first place whether that's Hydrogen, gasoline, diesel, or the mainline.
And just should mention that saying EV's have "no emissions" can trigger people. It's more accurate to say they have no emissions at the place they are driving and while there are still conflicting opinions most agree that the overall emissions either are or have the potential to be less then with an ICE.
If you are going to put an engine in the car then all of the other junk is redundant.
Wonderful presentation you done very well thanks
Hybrid electric vehicle is best
Good
Series hybrid car 🚗 is best for future
For every one (1) ton of lithium mined from hard rock mining there is fifteen (15 ) tons of CO2 produced. Seventy percent ( %70 ) more emissions are produced when making an electric vehicle. So NO electric vehicle is good for the planet
😮😮😮
For short term, hybrid is the best regarding for the price.
Should they really be called zero emissions? I'd argue no unless you're charging it by solar or wind power
I buy Suzuki vitara full hybrid. But I’m afraid how many years my hybrid battery last! 10-15 ? This is the question!
In series parallel hybrid type car. How both motor & engine give power to the car. What is the mechanical linkages btw that?
how can an industry distroys the billion doller parts market just to sertisfy a custumer
Any sho for buying battery

Hybrid is a much better option if you plan on traveling on highways
I rather prefer BEV than HEV and PHEV because of costly maintenance.
A little misinformation or deceptive comment. That an all electric vehicle can run further than a hybrid. Deceiving people to think it can go more miles on a full charge than a hybrid can with a full tank of gas. Which is untrue. Maybe they can reword it to say the battery is bigger and, therefore, the battery can run more miles than a hybrid battery at full charge
The answer is yes. Manufactures should scale back on full EVs and increase the capacity and regen on batteries in Hybrids
very informative.
Thank you so much❤
Being an American, (That's not suppose to Drive a Car, But Can!) I'd opt for PHEV ! ! !
