The maximum percent grade which the vehicle can traverse for a specified time at a specified speed. The gradeability limit is the grade upon which the vehicle can just move forward. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating - The maximum design loaded weight of the vehicle specified by the manufacturer
E.V's Design & Development
Electric cars function by plugging into a charge point and taking electricity from the grid. They store the electricity in rechargeable batteries that power an electric motor, which turns the wheels. Electric cars accelerate faster than vehicles with traditional fuel engines – so they feel lighter to drive.
- hybrid electric vehicles (HEV)
- plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV)
- battery electric vehicles (BEV).
E.V's Battery Pack Supply Chain
The EV supply chain is similar to the ICE passenger vehicle supply chain. However, instead of. competing based on the engine and transmission, EVs compete based on their batteries. Lithium- ion batteries power all EVs sold in the United States and have many different material.
E.V's CAN Management (Controller Area Network)
The Controller Area Network (CAN) is another type of serial communications protocol that was developed within the automotive industry to allow a number of electronic units on a single vehicle to share essential control data. A vehicle nowadays uses many microcontrollers for autonomous control systems.
- CAN -Controller Area Network
- Communication to the Main Network console
- Support and Service Management
