Although there are not many details, many portals ensure that each September 9 is electric car day At the initiative of companies ABB – Swedish – Swiss technical multinational – and Green TV – multiplatform that promotes clean energy – aimed at Raising awareness and promoting the use of electrified vehicles in the world.
Much can be said about the origin of this type of energy. Despite what is believed, the origins of the electric car date back to the 19th century, more precisely between 1832 and 1839, when the Sibrandus Straiting developed First scale electric vehicle model in the Netherlands. Time passed and technology advanced in other directions. The automotive industry sought other horizons for its development and the Dutchman’s invention was limited to a few forklifts and smaller spaces. Mass production was intended and the above technology, at the beginning of the time, did not facilitate it.
took a long time to Electric initiative appears with force. yes, Europe Lead The shift towards electric mobility and states such as California (USA) took a historic turn by banning the use of combustion engines from 2035. meanwhile, read Automotive companies focus their efforts Outline your plans for adapting your models and achieving emissions neutrality in the coming decades. Change is coming almost 200 years after the first appearance of this option.
In the first half of 2022, they were patented in Argentina. 3453 Non-conventional Motorized Cars According to a report released by SIOMAA and Association of Automotive Dealers of the Argentine Republic (Acara). of that number, 3,371 were hybrids and 82 were pure electricrepresentation of quantity 28.7% more what over the same period in 2021, indicating that the trend towards stability is increasing, whereas Toyota dominates the market – it represents 84.1% of total sales with its hybrids-, Payab The market starts to take a strong footing at -8.2% – and Stelantis’ luxury brand DS works its way up with 1.9%.
Tito of national production gains strength in the Argentine market
but electrification This is not typical of large traditional brands.There are local alternatives that have emerged recently, such as koradir (which manufactures Tito models and Tita trucks), Cordoba vault, sero electric (Produced in Castellar, Province of Buenos Aires) and hamelboatFrom Missiones, along with various electric citycar models (which have limited circulation).
In the first semester, the non-traditional models leading sales were: Toyota Corolla across (1883 hybrid units, 55% of the total according to the Acara report), Toyota Corolla Hybrid (742), Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid (216), Ford Kuga Hybrid (163) and Ford F150 Hybrid Pickup (111).
As far as 100% electric cars are concerned, there are currently 13 models and 247 units in circulation as of the first half.According to Acara’s data. Among them, the electric version of the utility Renault Kangoo (112 vehicles), 52 Cordir Tito 2-door units, 46 Nissan Leaf, 5 Audi e-tron and 13 Cero electric utility models.
From that scale model built years ago in the Netherlands to the present day, many different options have emerged. The road is long and there is still a long way to go before electric technology dominates the roads, but today there are different options for those venturing into this type of vehicle.
First and foremost demand Pure Hybrid or HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) which represents 80% of this type of sales globally. It is cheaper to produce than the electric one and It does not need to be recharged externally to work. It does not drop fuel usage but it manages to reduce its consumption by up to 50%. It consists of a conventional combustion engine and a small electric engine, a control unit to distribute the energy and operation of the engine and a Extra battery pack.
are on the other hand Plug-in Hybrid or PHEV (Plug-in Electric Vehicle). They are practically identical to the previous ones but usually combine a power supply with a lithium-ion battery. Input (plug) for external charger. The battery can be recharged by plugging the vehicle into a properly installed charging station or home outlet. Greater autonomy in electric mode without the need to activate the combustion engine.
are in parallel Micro hybrid or MHEV (mild hybrid electric vehicle) Which has a starter alternator on a conventional engine powered by a 48V Lithium Ion battery. What does this system work for? To generate extra power for fuel-demanding tasks, charge a normal 12V battery, and give the engine extra power. In other words, it consumes about a liter less gasoline for every 100 km traveled.
and finally, there are 100% Electric, BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) or also known as ZEV (Zero Emotion Vehicle). They have one or more electric motors, a large battery pack, an external charging socket, and a power converter. Propellants are powered only from battery generated electricity, Which can be charged only thanks to the plug. They require less maintenance as they do not have as many mechanical components but they offer relatively little autonomy (most advanced between 300 and 600 km).
In its commitment to electrification, Volvo installed chargers in Newquan on the Camino de los 7 Lagos, to enable it to travel with electrical autonomy.volvo
