The difference between EVs and fuel vehicles

The biggest structural difference between electric vehicles and fuel vehicles lies in the power system and energy supply system.

Compared with fuel vehicles, EVs do not have engines, so the engine-related parts of fuel vehicles are eliminated. In EVs, there is no need for parts such as engine, transmission, fuel tank, fuel supply device, fuel injection device, spark plug, intake pipe, exhaust pipe, three-way catalytic converter and muffler. Even the air intake grille on the front of the car is not needed.

The electrical components added to EVs mainly include batteries, motors, controllers, etc. EVs use batteries and electric motors instead of fuel tanks and engines, and use controllers to control the vehicle’s running speed.

There is no obvious difference between electric vehicles and fuel vehicles in appearance (except for the exhaust pipe), but the internal structure of pure electric vehicles is relatively simple, and they have far fewer parts than fuel vehicles, making them easy to maintain.
