E – POWER VS HYBRID: Which ONE is Better ?
In the context of Greening Transportation green cars are always the optimal choice in the overall structure aiming towards a zero emission world to meet the demand for green Vehicles manufacturers have launched many car models notably electric cars and Tesla the world’s largest pure electric car manufacturer has completely transformed
The automobile Market however electric cars are facing some obstacles the most typical example is the high cost of building charging station infrastructure which some developing countries cannot yet therefore a solution has been proposed which is hybrid cars a type of engine that is a hybrid of electric and internal combustion moreover there are
Two different Technologies in the hybrid car line which are E power and regular hybrid both of which bring many individual advantages and disadvantages so right in this video Let’s explore and analyze these two types of engines with me but first don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss any car news before
Delving into the details let’s take a look at the general structure and principles of environmentally friendly Vehicles firstly pure electric cars use an electric motor to directly Drive the wheels and the only energy source provided is the battery to make the battery work we need to charge it
Similar to how you charge a phone moreover electric cars have very high operating efficiency as the loss is almost minimal According to some studies if the loss of the electric motor is just over 10% then the internal combustion engine will go up to over 80% with an internal combustion engine the
Engine has to work almost continuously regardless of the driving conditions from urban areas with slow speeds to highways with high speeds now let’s move to hybrids which are vehicles with engines that combine both electric and internal combustion the first prominent hybrid car on the market that we will
Study is Nissan’s E power represented in this video by the Nissan kicks model with E power technology it operates entirely on an electric motor the gasoline engine only serves to house a generator that helps charge the battery when Des accelerating or braking and there is also a regenerative energy mode
To recharge thus we can conclude that this is entirely an electric car but it carries an additional generator to generate electricity itself and the process of refueling is as convenient as cars using internal combustion engines next we have the pure hybrid which is a combination of gasoline and electricity
With both the gasoline engine and electric motor working together the most famous of these has to be Toyota with hybrid technology the vehicle operates using both a gas gasoline engine and an electric motor when running at low speeds the electric motor is operated however the electric motor proves to be
Very limited when the vehicle operates at high speeds therefore when the vehicle accelerates the gasoline engine is activated to increase power and traction when decelerating or braking the vehicle also has a regenerative Energy System to recharge the vehicle’s battery there are two main types of hybrids which are plug-in hybrids and
Conventional hybrids their basic principles are the same with just a slight difference in the input energy source and now let’s explore the differences between the two types E power and hybrid when running an urban areas e-powered Vehicles fully utilize the advantages of an electric car as the movement at low speeds consumes very
Little energy meanwhile the gasoline engine is designed to operate the generator to provide enough energy for even the most severe cases so it almost never has to work at high RPMs when running in urban areas even in some tests the gasoline engine on the Nissan works very little it only needs to run
For a few minutes to provide enough electricity for the car to move the braking and deceleration process when running in urban areas also helps the car self-charge thereby maximizing fuel saving according to estimates the Nissan kicks consumes Less Than 3 L per 100 km meaning it reduces fuel consumption by
About 70% compared to other cars in the segment however when accelerating the Nissan kicks can accelerate as quickly as a pure electric car reaching about 50 kmph in just about 3.13 seconds now let’s talk about hybrid cars when running in urban areas the mode of running with an electric motor only
Occurs for a relatively short period of time at low speeds and when the battery still has a lot of power this means that the gasoline engine has to operate more than with E power technology especially during acceleration a typical example is the Toyota Corolla cross model the acceleration process of this model is
Faster than the gasoline version but it is not as fast as the Nissan kicks even though both engines are operating and as we know the more the gasoline engine operates the greater the energy loss therefore the fuel consumption in urban areas of hybrid cars will only decrease by about 40% compared to equivalent
Gasoline models therefore for those who need to travel in urban areas the Nissan kicks would be an optimal choice but if you buy a car it’s not just for use in urban areas when running at high speeds any car needs a lot of energy in other words it needs more traction and Power
Now let me talk a little bit about the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines a car using an internal combustion engine will be most fuel efficient when it meets the following criteria first it runs at the highest gear of the gearbox second it runs at the most optimal RPM for example a car
Equipped with a six-speed gearbox will be most fuele efficient when running at sixth gear with speeds from 70 to 80 kmph for cars with an eco mode sixth gear can be shifted at lower speeds similarly with a car equipped with a 9 or 10speed gearbox it will be most fuele
Efficient when running at speeds of about over 100 kmph on highways e- powerered cars also need a lot of energy this type of car still has the advantage of pure electric cars which is the ability to accelerate very quickly even when running at high speeds and the gasoline engine will have to work
Continuously to charge the battery according to practical tests the Nissan kicks has an average fuel consumption on highways equivalent to other gasoline cars cars in the same segment this means that the Nissan kicks when running on highways only has advantages in terms of traction and power not in fuel
Efficiency as for hybrid cars the ability to run on highways is completely different whenever you need to accelerate both engines will exert their full power when running at low speeds the engine will use only one part of electricity or gasoline when the gasoline engine is working it is
Charging the battery and when the electric motor is working it is time for the gasoline engine to rest this smooth combination may have a drawback that is when the car needs to accelerate it will not be as smooth and explosive as E power but it optimizes fuel consumption based on practical calculations the
Average fuel consumption on highways of the Toyota Corolla cross hybrid version is reduced by about 30 to 40% compared to the gasoline version and of course on mixed terrain the hybrid car is also more fuel efficient but these are just general and preliminary evaluations not specific therefore let me show you a few
Few more factors between the two models Nissan kicks and Toyota Corolla cross one of the factors that need to be considered is the selling price the listed price of Nissan kicks is cheaper than Toyota Corolla Cross by about 3,000 to 5,000 United States dollars the second factor that needs to be
Considered as the battery price the battery price of the Toyota Corolla cross model ranges from 45 to 250 United States while the battery of the Nissan kicks model According to some dealers has a price range of 79 to $450 United States dollars another very important factor is the battery warranty period
For Toyota the battery warranty period is 5 years similarly Nissan kicks also has a battery warranty period of 5 years and those are the important information between the two hybrid and E power Technologies which engine technology do you like best please leave your opinion in the comment section below if you like
