Volkswagen marked its serious entry into the battery-electric vehicle market with the introduction in Frankfurt of its first two series production EVs: the e-up! The electric motor’s power is transferred to the front wheels via a single-speed gearbox. Volkswagen itself developed all of the components, including the battery.

When an EV is plugged into a charger, it can give back energy to the power grid or any other required places during peak demand and only charge when the overall demand is lower.  Fewer battery cells would be required worldwide. The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) method enables the battery to supply power to the electrical grid.

Today’s vehicle designs proliferate with sensitive electronics, including electronic controls, infotainment, sensing, battery packs, battery management, electric vehicle powertrains, and on-board chargers. These parts are needed to convert the AC voltage into the DC voltage to charge the vehicle’s on-board battery.

FCEVs store hydrogen gas in a tank rather than charging a battery. The fuel cell’s electricity then powers an electric motor, which drives the vehicle like a BEV. In simple terms, unlike a BEV(Battery electric vehicle), which requires external charging, a fuel-cell electric vehicle generates its own electricity.

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) uses an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor. So, are electric vehicles are still as eco-friendly when the manufacturing process of the car and battery are taken into consideration? THE BOTTOM LINE.
