An electric vehicle is driven using a
battery and an electric motor. Whilst
general vehicles use an internal
combustion engine and petrol as
fuel, electric vehicles use electrical
energy that is charged inside the
high voltage battery. As a result,
electric vehicles are eco-friendly in
that they do not require fuel and do
not emit exhaust gases. 1. It is driven using the electrical ener-
gy that is charged inside the high
voltage battery. This method pre-
vents air pollution since fuel, like
petrol, is not required, negating the
emission of exhaust gases.
2. A high performance motor is used
in the vehicle as well. Compared
to standard, internal combustion
engine vehicles, engine noise and
vibrations are much more minimal
when driving.
3. When decelerating or driving down-
hill, regenerative braking is utilized
to charge the high voltage battery.
This minimizes energy loss and
increases the distance to empty.
4. When the battery charge is not
sufficient, AC Charge, DC Charge
and trickle charge are available.
(Refer to “Charge Types for
Electric Vehicle” for details.)

What does regenerative braking
do?
It uses an electric motor when
decelerating and braking and
transforms kinetic energy to elec-
trical energy in order to charge the
high voltage battery.
