Information About Electric Vehicles
The use of electric vehicles for a nature-friendly transportation has peaked recently. In fact, the discovery and introduction of electric vehicles goes back many years. The world's first electric vehicle (Electric Vehicles - EV) was introduced in Aberdeen, Scotland in the 1830s. This technology, which was very popular at that time, even led to the emergence of electric taxis on the streets of London. However, in the conditions of the period, with the oil being too much, the increase in oil production and the decrease in oil prices in parallel, the electric vehicles suddenly fell from the eyes of the people and came to the point of being deleted from the market. During that period, smear campaigns about electric vehicles were also made very often, and this technology was shelved and instead fossil fuel-consuming vehicles dominated the market.

With the recent increase in global warming and the decrease in fossil fuels worldwide, electric vehicles have become popular again. Electric vehicles have an important place in increasing gasoline prices day by day and countries getting rid of foreign dependency. According to the environmental reports published by the World Health Organization, it is certain that diesel vehicles and gasoline vehicles adversely affect the balance of the atmosphere due to high carbon emissions. For this reason, nature-friendly vehicles instead of internal combustion engine vehicles have accelerated to take more place in traffic. Maybe it will take many years, but cars that consume fossil fuels will disappear over the years.

Many automobile manufacturers around the world have been dedicating a significant part of their resources to electric vehicle production in recent years. Not only vehicle manufacturers, but also different technology companies are taking innovative steps to produce batteries for electric vehicles and conducting R&D studies. Many countries, especially the European Union, have started to accelerate the legal processes that encourage the production and use of electric vehicles.

   

Electric vehicles, as the name suggests, do not use an internal combustion engine like fossil fuel-consuming cars. They are powered by electricity instead of gasoline, and from an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. The electric motors used in these vehicles work with batteries and battery sets. Of course, battery types may differ when examined on a model basis. Getting the right fuel according to the way the internal combustion engine works is of critical importance for the safety and health of the vehicles. For electric vehicles, it is sufficient to have an electrical source that uses only AC (Alternating Current) or DC (Direct Current) for power.

In order for electric vehicles to run, the power to the engine is provided by the electrical energy stored in the battery. Energy conversion in electric vehicles takes place without loss of power. In fossil fuel vehicles, on the other hand, an average of 25 percent of the energy that comes out with the combustion of the fuel can be used. Engines used in electric vehicles convert mechanical energy into electrical energy without the need for another transmitter, thanks to its direct operation as an alternator (alternating current generator). Therefore, there is no need for an exhaust in electric vehicles.

Among the advantages of electric vehicles, zero carbon emission is one of the most prominent features. The environmental sensitivity of electric vehicles is the biggest difference compared to traditional vehicles. In addition, sound pollution created by traditional vehicles is known. In terms of sound factor, electric vehicles are the most comfortable vehicles. Electric vehicles also provide different advantages in other aspects such as driving performance (comfortable driving pleasure), battery charging costs and low maintenance costs. With the increase in electric vehicles in the market in recent years, charging stations have also increased. Among the disadvantages of electric vehicles, their high price is one of the most negative aspects. For battery charging times, while it reaches full capacity in 6-8 hours at AC (Alternating Current) stations, it can go down to 40-50 minutes at DC (Direct Current) stations. Of course, these times are much longer than the fuel supply, but it should be said that R&D studies continue to reduce these times in the coming years. Some electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers charge extra rental costs for the batteries they release. Although this may seem like a disadvantage, battery rental has its advantages. When the battery performance decreases in the rental process, the supply of a new one by the manufacturer is added to the contract. The reason for this is that battery insurance payments are included in the rental amount. In vehicles without battery rental, brands offer full warranty and maintenance support by reflecting battery maintenance and replacement in the purchase price.

In terms of electric vehicles, brands are improving themselves day by day and it is certain that these vehicles will develop more in the future. It will be an inevitable fact that we will see electric vehicles in traffic all over the world in the coming years, as the harms of fossil fuel-consuming vehicles for both nature and people are taken into consideration.
