How do battery electric vehicles work?

If you’ve ever wondered how battery electric vehicles (BEVs) operate, the process is quite fascinating. These vehicles utilize a DC battery to power their electric motor. To make this energy usable for the motor, it needs to be converted from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). This is where the inverter comes in. The inverter takes the DC power from the battery and transforms it into AC power, which the electric motor can use.

Once the AC power is ready, it flows to the electric motor. When you press down on the accelerator pedal, it sends a signal to the controller. The controller then adjusts the vehicle’s speed by altering the frequency of the AC power sent from the inverter to the motor. Essentially, the controller manages how much power the motor receives based on your input through the accelerator pedal.

With the AC power flowing to the motor, the motor then springs into action. It is connected to the wheels through a cog, allowing it to turn the wheels and propel the vehicle forward. This entire process happens seamlessly and swiftly, providing the smooth and quiet ride that electric vehicles are known for.
