Advantages of electric vehicles
Electric motors are used to drive vehicles because they can be finely
controlled, they deliver power efficiently and they are mechanically very
simple. Electric motors often achieve 90% conversion efficiency over the full
range of speeds and power output and can be precisely controlled. Electric
motors can provide high torque while an EV is stopped, unlike internal
combustion engines, and do not need gears to match power curves. This removes
the need for gearboxes and torque converters. Electric motors also have the
ability to convert movement energy back into electricity, through regenerative
braking. This can be used to reduce the wear on brake systems and reduce the
total energy requirement of a trip.
