Electric cars plug into a charging station and consume electricity from the grid. They store electricity in a rechargeable battery that powers an electric motor that turns the wheels. Electric cars drive faster than vehicles with conventional fuel engines – so they feel lighter to drive.

The electric motor receives power from a controller that controls the amount of power based on the driver's use of the accelerator pedal. Electric cars (also called electric vehicles or EVs) use energy stored in their rechargeable batteries, which are recharged by regular household electricity.

Main components of an electric car:
1) Traction battery: An electric vehicle battery (also called a traction battery) is used to power the motors of an electric vehicle. These batteries are usually rechargeable (secondary) and are usually lithium-ion batteries.

2) Inverter: An inverter converts DC electricity from sources such as batteries or fuel cells into AC electricity. The power supply can be at any required voltage; Specifically, it can operate AC equipment designed to operate on mains power or can be rectified to produce DC at the desired voltage.

3) Electric Motor: DC motor works because, in simple terms, when a current passes through the motor circuit, there is a reaction between the current in the field and the current in the armature, which makes turn the armature. The armature and the field are connected in series, and the whole motor is called "series winding".

4) Controller: The main function of the controller is to regulate the electrical energy from the batteries and inverters which will be distributed to the electric motors. The main input to the controller comes from the car's pedal. This adjustment of the pedal will determine the variation in frequency or voltage that will enter the motor and, at the same time, determine the speed of the car.

5) DC/DC Converter: It is one of the electric car parts that converts the high voltage DC power of the traction battery into low voltage DC power to power the vehicle accessories and recharge the auxiliary battery. Necessary for.

6) Charging Port: The charging port allows you to connect the vehicle to an external power supply to charge the traction battery.
