AUTOCARE WITH DAMILARE: ELECTRIC CARS

Electric Cars

Just like you'll charge your phone, Laptop and other gadget, so you can charge the electric cars, To your surprise electric cars was first produced in 1880, yes that long so it's not an invention that just happen yesterday.

So let just say, an electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in rechargeable batteries, it does not has the internal combustion engine and it doesn't emit exhaust.

From 2008, a renaissance in electric vehicle manufacturing occurred due to advances in batteries, and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve urban air quality. 
Charging an electric car can be done at a variety of charging stations, these charging stations can be installed in both houses and public areas. The Tesla Model 3 was the world's best selling EV (Electric Vehicle) from 2018 to 2019 and had a maximum electric range of 500 km (310 miles) according to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) The Model 3 became the world's all-time best selling electric car by early 2020.


Key Components of an All-Electric Car

Battery (all-electric auxiliary): In an electric drive vehicle, the auxiliary battery provides electricity to power vehicle accessories.

Charge port: The charge port allows the vehicle to connect to an external power supply in order to charge the traction battery pack.

DC/DC converter: This device converts higher-voltage DC power from the traction battery pack to the lower-voltage DC power needed to run vehicle accessories and recharge the auxiliary battery.

Electric traction motor: Using power from the traction battery pack, this motor drives the vehicle's wheels. Some vehicles use motor generators that perform both the drive and regeneration functions.

Onboard charger: Takes the incoming AC electricity supplied via the charge port and converts it to DC power for charging the traction battery. It monitors battery characteristics such as voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge while charging the pack.

Power electronics controller: This unit manages the flow of electrical energy delivered by the traction battery, controlling the speed of the electric traction motor and the torque it produces.

Thermal system (cooling): This system maintains a proper operating temperature range of the engine, electric motor, power electronics, and other components.

Traction battery pack: Stores electricity for use by the electric traction motor.

Transmission (electric): The transmission transfers mechanical power from the electric traction motor to drive the wheels.

Electric cars or EVs are environmental friendly, and it's the future when it come to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is also less cost to move around. than the gasoline cars, but it might be costly to get, though it is said that Tesla new battery will make EV as cheap as petrol cars and this new, low-cost batteries designed to last for a million miles (1.6 million kilometres) of use and enable electric Teslas to sell profitably for the same price or less than a petrol vehicle. 
It's just a matter of when before electric cars out number petrol cars on the road.

if you're yet to see the future in electric cars, then I wonder the future you're seeing.

AUTOCARE: TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

-
Image
Transmission system Transmission System Transmission system is used in motor vehicles to supply the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process. Transmission system consist of Clutch assembly Gear box assembly (Transmission case assembly) Propeller shaft Clutch system The clutch assembly interrupts the power flow between the engine and the transmission when the vehicle is brought to a stop with the engine running. and when shifting gears. It is a mechanical device that transfers all power from the engine into the transmission of a vehicle. Without a properly operating clutch, power transfer and gear shifting would be very difficult. The clutch is located between the engine flywheel and the transmission Functions of Clutch (a) To disconnect the engine power from the gear box as required. (b) To allow the engine to take up load gradually without...

WADDUP FAM!!!!    Tell me something is a section of the blog is where we get to talk about different issues just the way they are. Here we tallk about everything from career, relationships, to african culture(homes), our different behaviours as humans, not minding our english or what other people think of our opinion, that's why its called an opinion right ?  So drop your comments and let's tell each other something!!!!    First up today is the topic abortion ghen ghen,  though i don't have my facts right and i don't anybody to attack me so am not going be calling particular numbers or percentages.  Alll of us if we want to be sincere with ourselves know that...

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
