Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vs Electric Vehicle (EV)- definition, characteristics - uses, performance, advantages and disadvantages
ICE engine:
Conventional combustion vehicles use engines that burn fossil fuels, such as petrol or diesel oil. It is a heat engine that converts fuel energy into work by burning fuel and air in a combustion chamber to create high pressure gas. ICE 's are the primary power source for vehicles like cars, boats and airplanes.
Advantages:
*Longer range *Quick refilling
Disadvantages:
* Typically less energy efficient, as much of the energy in the fuel is lost as heat during combustion. *Produces greenhouse gases (CO₂, CO, NOx) and other pollutants directly through the exhaust, leads to air pollution and global warming.
An Electric Vehicle (EV) is a vehicle powered by electricity instead of conventional internal combustion engines which use fossil fuels like gasoline or diesel. EVs use electric motors and are driven by energy stored in rechargeable batteries. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle's wheels.
Advantages:
*Zero emission *Higher efficiency
Disadvantages:
* Shorter range *Longer Charger time *Quiet and smooth operation
Performance:
