Centre For E-Vehicle Technology

An electric vehicle (EV) is one that operates on an electric motor, instead of an internal-combustion engine that generates power by burning a mix of fuel and gases.
Electric vehicle (EV) technology includes a variety of components and systems, including:
Batteries: The energy source for EVs, stored in a large battery pack that can be charged by plugging into a wall outlet or charging station.
Electric motors: Power the wheels of the vehicle, and are powered by the battery.
Charging infrastructure: Allows drivers to charge their vehicles, and is essential for EVs to be able to travel long distances.
Regenerative braking: When the brakes are applied, the motor acts as an alternator to produce power and send it back to the battery.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): Allows EVs to connect with the grid, making them important for a sustainable future.
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS): Can help to increase the autonomous capabilities of EVs.
Composite materials: Can be used to reduce the weight of a vehicle, making it more sustainable.
Conductive charging: A technology that transfers power between the grid and the EV through direct metal-to-metal contact.
Time-of-use (TOU) pricing: A pricing framework that incentivizes EV owners to charge their vehicles during off-peak hours.
Smart charging algorithms: Used by utilities to control the rates and start times of EV charging.
