No Silent Electric Vehicles | Sound For Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicless

Electric Cars in particular are gaining fame because of their rechargeable engine that is powered by batteries as opposed to the traditional gas engine. This cost can be further lowered if you change your vehicle at a solar PV system or at some free charging station. At THOR , the engineers have taken this job very seriously.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

Sounds simple, but it’s more complicated than just replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs). The total emission reduction from electrification also depends on the source of the electricity that is powering EVs, and that depends on location. Clean electricity makes a difference.

What is Decarbonization?

Driivz

Replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) — called electrification — is the only way to substantially reduce CO2 emissions in the transportation sector. The degree of CO2 emission reduction in transport depends on the source of the electricity powering EVs.
