Gasoline Car's vs. Electric Car's An **electric car** is a vehicle that utilizes chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs, and electric motors and motor controllers instead of an internal combustion engine vehicles using both electric motors and ICE's are examples of hybrid cars. Vehicles powered by fuel cells are electric cars. Electric cars create less pollution than gasoline-powered cars, so they are an environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles, especially in cities.This car can go 60m/h and it must be charge overnight. next day, you can go everywhere worrying about your gas. The bad thing about this car is that, it cant go far. it can only go 50-100 miles(80 to 161km). Here's an example of an electric car. > **The "gas gauge" in an electric car is either a simple volt meter or a more sophisticated computer that tracks the flow of amps to and from the battery pack.** > ||
 * A battery tray is installed in the floor of the car.
 * Fifty 12-volt lead-acid batteries were placed in the battery tray (two sets of 25 to create 300 volts DC).
 * Electric motors were added to power things that used to get their power from the engine: the water pump, power steering pump, air conditioner.
 * A vacuum pump is added for the power brakes.
 * The shifter for the manual transmission was replaced with a switch, disguised as an automatic transmission shifter, to control forward and reverse.A small electric water heater was added to provide heat.
 * A charger was added so that the batteries could be recharged. This particular car actually has two charging systems -- one from a normal 120-volt or 240-volt wall outlet, and the other from a magna-charge inductive charging paddle.
 * The gas gauge is replaced with a volt meter.

 * A simple DC controller connected to the batteries and the DC motor. If the driver floors the accelerator pedal, the controller delivers the full 96 volts from the batteries to the motor. If the driver take his/her foot off the accelerator, the controller delivers zero volts to the motor. For any setting in between, the controller "chops" the 96 volts thousands of times per second to create an average voltage somewhere between 0 and 96 volts.**

the generator is connected to the sun gear of the gear set,nd the engine is connected to the planet carrier. The speed of the ring gear depends on all three components, so they all have to work together at all times to control the output speed.
