More about Electric Race Car
The future was unclear because of the low range and small lifespan of the batteries. But there are several developments which could bring back electric vehicles outside of their current field of application -- namely operational yards and indoor operation. The first improvement[1] was to decouple the electric motor from the battery through electronic control while employing ultra-capacitors to buffer large but short power demands and recuperable braking energy. The development of new cell types compared with intelligent cell management improved both weak points mentioned above. The cell management is not only able to monitor the health of the cells but by having a redundant cell configuration (one cell more than needed) and a sophisticated switched wiring it is possible to condition one cell after the other while the rest are on duty. Perhaps the most important point is that a monovalent operation (electric only) is no longer considered dogma. The use of fuel cells instead of internal combustion engines can create propulsion systems that are nearly emissions-free (regarding local emissions). In an electric drive vehicle, the torque is supplied to the wheels by an electric motor to propel the vehicle.? BEVs produce no tailpipe emissions.? The batteries are recharged from the grid and from regenerative braking.? Types of battery electric vehicles in widespread use today include low-speed, neighborhood electric vehicles, airport ground support equipment, and off-road industrial equipment such as fork lifts.
Advantages of battery electric vehicles (BEVs):
-Zero tailpipe emissions (no CO2 or other pollutants
-Use of cleaner electric energy produced through advanced natural gas and coal gasification technologies
-Energy security by displacing imported petroleum with domestic generated electricity
