    Electric vehicles use electric motors powered by batteries instead of internal combustion engines. They have advantages like zero emissions and independence from petroleum but also differences like using batteries instead of gas tanks. The Tata Nano is a 4-wheeler EV case study from India with a power rating of under 10kW. Hybrid electric vehicles combine an electric motor with a gas engine to improve efficiency and allow regenerative braking to capture braking energy. Hybrid drive trains can deliver power through various combinations of the electric and gas power trains.

    Electric Vehicles
    Introduction
     Electric vehicles (EVs) use an electric motor for traction, and chemical
    batteries, fuel cells, ultra capacitors, and/or flywheels for their corresponding
    energy sources.
     The electric vehicle has many advantages over the conventional internal
    combustion engine vehicle (ICEV), such as an absence of emissions, high
    efficiency, independence from petroleum, and quiet and smooth operation.
     There are, however, some differences between ICEVs and EVs, such as the
    use of gasoline tanks vs. batteries, ICE vs. electric motor, and different
    transmission requirements.

    Concept of Hybrid Electric Drive Trains

    Basically, any vehicle power train is required to (1) develop sufficient power to meet the demands of vehicle

    performance, (2) carry sufficient energy onboard to support vehicle driving in the given range, (3) demonstrate high

    efficiency, and (4) emit few environmental pollutants. Broadly, a vehicle may have more than one energy source and

    energy converter (power source), such as a gasoline (or diesel) heat engine system, hydrogen–fuel cell–electric motor

    system, chemical battery–electric motor system, etc. A vehicle that has two or more energy sources and energy

    converters is called a hybrid vehicle. A hybrid vehicle with an electrical power train (energy source energy converters) is

    called an HEV. A hybrid vehicle drive train usually consists of no more than two power trains. More than two power train

    configurations will complicate the system. For the purpose of recapturing part of the braking energy that is dissipated in

    the form of heat in conventional ICE vehicles, a hybrid drive train usually has a bidirectional energy source and converter.

    The other one is either bidirectional or unidirectional. Figure shows the concept of a hybrid drive train and the possible

    different power flow routes.


    Hybrid drive trains supply the required power by an adapted power train. There are many available
    patterns of combining the power flows to meet load requirements as described below:

    1. Power train 1 alone delivers power to the load


    2. Power train 2 alone delivers power to the load
    3. Both power train 1 and 2 deliver power to load at the same time
    4. Power train 2 obtains power from load (regenerative braking)
    5. Power train 2 obtains power from power train 1
    6. Power train 2 obtains power from power train 1 and load at the same time
    7. Power train 1 delivers power to load and to power train 2 at the same time
    8. Power train 1 delivers power to power train 2, and power train 2 delivers power to load
    9. Power train 1 delivers power to load, and load delivers power to power train 2.
