EV Terminology

7 Tidbits
You Must
Know
LITHIUM
The most
important part
of rechargeable
lithium-ion batteries
, which let me write this post about
EV terminology
.
VOLT (V)
People often use
water pressure
in
plumbing
as an example. This is the first thing (Volt) you need to know about
charging a battery
.
AMP (OR AMPERE)
Number of
electrons traversing
a certain spot
per second
. A
plumbing analogy
is often used.
WATT (W)
A unit of
electrical power
, or the amount of work done
per second
.
Watts
are calculated by
multiplying volts
by amps.
KILOWATT
Kilowatts
appear multiple times. One measures
charger power
and the other
electric motor power
.
KILOWATT-HOUR
Electrical vehicle batteries
have a capacity measured in
kilowatt-hours
(much like the capacity of a
gas tank
is expressed in
gallons
).
RANGE
This one is simple, and it refers to the
mileage in kilometers
that may be traveled on a
battery
that has been
fully charged
.
