Characteristics of the EV (Electric Vehicle)
system
The illustration is an example for explanation purposes only and may
vary from the actual vehicle.
Electric motor (traction motor)
Traction battery
Provides electricity to the electric motor.
12-volt battery
Provides electricity to various vehicle systems such as the SRS air-
bags, headlights, wipers, etc.
Electric vehicles are considerably different from conventional
vehicle.
They use electricity charged in a traction battery, instead of fos-
sil fuels, to drive the electric motor. Since electric vehicles drive
using electricity, they do not emit any emissions such as CO2
(Carbon Dioxide) and NOx (Nitrogen Oxides). Electric vehicles
are environmentally friendly vehicles.
