What is EV

Any vehicle that uses electric vehicle to move

What is its principle?

An electric vehicle works on a basic principle of science: conversion of energy.
Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy. There is a motor used in the
electrical system to carry on this duty of conversion. Motors can be of various types.

What is EV operation?
Electric cars function by plugging into a charge point and taking electricity from
the grid. They store the electricity in rechargeable batteries that power an electric
motor, which turns the wheels. Electric cars accelerate faster than vehicles with
traditional fuel engines – so they feel lighter to drive.

What are types of electric vehicle?

 Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) BEVs are also known as All-Electric Vehicles (AEV).
...
 Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): HEVs are also known as series hybrid or parallel
hybrid. ...
 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV): ...
 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle(FCEV):

How do electric vehicles save the [Link] so,explain it in detail?

Research has shown that electric vehicles are better for the environment.
They emit fewer greenhouse gases and air pollutants than petrol or diesel cars. And
this takes into account their production and electricity generation to keep them
running. the major benefit of electric cars is the contribution that they can make
towards improving air quality in towns and cities. With no tailpipe, pure electric cars
produce no carbon dioxide emissions when driving. This reduces air pollution
considerably.

Put simply, electric cars give us cleaner streets making our towns and cities a better
place to be for pedestrians and cyclists. In over a year, just one electric vehicle on
the roads can save an average 1.5 million grams of CO2. That’s the equivalent of four
return flights from London to Barcelona.

The main aim is to let users understand why, how, and in which cases electro-
mobility is actually performing according to its green image, by cutting per-km
emissions from its fossil fuel-based counterpart. A second objective is to show in
which conditions electric vehicles may "counter-perform": what happens when the
battery size changes; or the background electricity mix; the battery lifetime; what
about winter conditions affecting battery performances

Why is EV still expensive for many individuals? What can be done to

reduce its price?


 An EV comprises three critical components, that is the battery pack, electric
motor, and transmission.
Out of the three components, the battery pack is the most expensive one.
One of the primary reasons for the high cost of Battery Electric Vehicles
(BEV) is the battery itself, which is critical to store electrical energy.
Currently, battery-powered vehicles use lithium-ion technology, which has
been around for quite a while now. Your gadgets, such as smartphones,
laptops, tablets, etc., use lithium-ion batteries.
But when it comes to eco-friendly cars, it’s much bigger in size and the
usage cycle takes a giant leap.
EV batteries need rare earth metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which
are not readily available.
The metals have to be mined and processed to be used in EV batteries.
A battery pack accounts for around 30-40% of an electric car’s cost.
Research and development: Automobile manufacturers invest a lot of time
and money in the research and development of an EV. Every component
must be specifically designed for a particular electric vehicle, from the battery
pack to the wheels. Hence, the automakers are forced to increase the price
to offset the manufacturing costs.
High-end technology: The working mechanism of electric vehicle may be
simple compared to a conventional car. But the technology that goes into
making an electric car is high-end and complex.

How is EV Car design different from conventional diesel car design?

Well, there are many significant differences.

EVs tend to overheat much more than Diesel cars. So, the EVs are usually
restricted to output low power. This is the reason many Sports EVs like
Tesla Model S have lower top speeds than other Sports Cars of similar
[Link] carsusually have to design the automobile such that there is
a good enough flow of air. EVs don’t really need that and hence usually
don’t have grilles.

Add to that, you have to design exhausts for Diesel powered cars(which
produce significantly more pollution than even Gasoline powered cars).

Otherwise, they are more or less the same.

Diesel cars are usually used for towing other vehicles and loads because
they produce humongous amounts of torque compared to Gasoline cars.
Another use is as fuel efficient cars in developing nations with lower
emission restrictions.

EVs usually produce more torque than Diesel engines at lower RPMs, but
they are not used for towing because they overheat under heavy loads
and cannot perform consistently. They are mostly used as fuel efficient
and environment friendly cars.
EV’s are DRAMATICALLY easier to maintain.

How to do marketing for any new economic EV just launched?

1) Communicate explaining.

EVs do not answer to all mobility needs but satisfy most of them. In
frequent urban journeys under 100 km between charging points,
VEs are much cheaper to use than an IC (internal combustion)
vehicle, more pleasant to drive and less pollutant. In urban circuits,
an electric motor offers a more “zen” drive because torque is
available from low revs and there is no clutch and no gearbox. If
you are driving an electric car, taking advantage of energy
regeneration allows you to use only one pedal to accelerate and
(nearly) stop the vehicle.

2) Don't sell.

Commercial pressure and appealing and detailed explanation don’t

combine. EVs need to be sold with a non-selling approach.
Traditional car retail is so used to commercial pressure (incentives,
campaigns) that is very difficult for sales staff to adopt consistently
this approach. The “agency” retail concept with “Product Genius”
used by BMW i seems a good option for EVs, considering the lower
levels of product competition in this market segment.

3) Go social!

As we have seen before, Customer education is a priority in EVs

marketing. Sales consultants should bet on social media to easily
access their Customer base, using text, images and videos. They
shouldn't use only brand content

4) Emphasize the “novelty”.

Almost all vehicles are good vehicles but they are also very similar!
Most Customers change their cars and motorcycles and don’t get a
radical new product. EVs are refreshingly new. New sensations,
new economies and… New constraints. Although all innovations do
have downsides, novelty is a selling argument.

5) Open your mind!

Most of EVs opponents miss some “petrol-pleasures” (e.g. sound,
manual gearbox) and argue about the typical EVs’ disadvantages
(range, price and depreciation risks). Many industry insiders tend
to be "technology nostalgic", missing carburetors when the
injection arrived, V8s versus 4 cylinders turbo, manual parking
brakes versus electronic and so on. I own a powerful "flat six" but I
admit that EVs can be really pleasant to drive, as the Dynamic
mode of this BMW C evolution demonstrates.
