Do you know what the three major technologies of new energy vehicles are? These three technologies are respectively compared to the heart, muscles, and brain of new energy vehicles. They are respectively batteries, motors, and electronic control technology.
Known as the heart of new energy vehicles is the battery. What kind of range can a new energy vehicle have? The battery played a decisive role. Known as the muscle of new energy vehicles, the electric motor can determine the power, performance, and driving attributes of a new energy vehicle. Known as the brain of new energy vehicles, it is electronic control technology that enables a new energy vehicle to work systematically with both a battery and an electric motor.
From this perspective, battery, motor, and electronic control technology are the three major obstacles for new energy vehicles. If a car company can overcome these three mountains, it will inevitably achieve brilliant results in the research and development of new energy vehicles. But then again, these three major technologies of new energy vehicles are not so easy to overcome.
From the perspective of batteries, what type of battery is more environmentally friendly, fast charging, and has a longer range for new energy vehicles? Is it a common pure electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle? Or fuel cell electric vehicles? There doesn't seem to be a unified answer.
There are many types of new energy vehicles, such as pure electric, range extender electric, hybrid and fuel cell electric, as well as hydrogen powered vehicles, and so on.
In the field of pure electric vehicles, people rely solely on a battery as the energy storage power source for new energy vehicles. It can provide electrical energy to the electric motor through the battery and convert it into kinetic energy, thereby propelling the car to run quickly. In the contemporary market, the types, styles, and properties of rechargeable batteries for pure electric vehicles are complex and varied. The common rechargeable batteries for pure electric vehicles are mainly lead-acid, nickel cadmium, nickel hydrogen, and lithium-ion batteries.
These batteries can provide power for new energy vehicles using only one battery as an energy storage source. But this type of new energy vehicle has been jokingly referred to by netizens: it has a characteristic that cannot be compared to gasoline cars, which is that when it burns, its momentum is even more majestic. Even if we use a fire extinguisher at this time, it has no effect. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, its storage power source is relatively single, so its service life is shorter. Should we question its safety? Everyone should measure it themselves.
From the perspective of electric motors, there are currently only 7 common types of engines for new energy vehicles. According to their structure and working principle, they can be further divided into three categories: DC motors, asynchronous motors, and synchronous motors. The generators installed in both gasoline and new energy vehicles are generally not too cheap.
Because according to its structure and working principle, the manufacturing cost of DC motors is relatively high, as it contains many scarce resources such as rare earths, ferrites, and so on. The rotor speed of asynchronous motors is relatively low, while the rotor speed, frequency, and rhythm of synchronous motors tend to stabilize. So from the perspective of production and manufacturing, as well as the research and development, materials, and energy involved, if new energy vehicles want to last longer, have better comfort, more comprehensive performance, and higher recycling value The motor it is equipped with is definitely not cheap, so the factory price of this type of new energy vehicle may be a threshold for some audiences.
In addition, electronic control is the regulatory center that can control many functions of new energy vehicles, and it is also the key to determining the operating status of the entire new energy vehicle. It can also monitor and analyze the battery status, so as to monitor and diagnose the safety of the battery in real time, and manage the control of the vehicle's capabilities in a timely manner.
Compared with the three technologies, although they are all one of the three major technologies of new energy vehicles, the two major barriers of batteries and motors are probably already making many ordinary users fearful of new energy vehicles. So how long do you think it will take for the global new energy vehicle market to enter a relatively complete, safe, and intelligent era?
