Electric powertrains are systems that use electric motors and batteries to propel vehicles instead of traditional internal combustion engines. They convert electrical energy stored in batteries into mechanical energy, allowing for efficient and quiet operation. This technology is commonly found in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles, which combine electric and gasoline power. The main components of an electric powertrain include the electric motor, battery pack, and power electronics. Electric motors provide instant torque, resulting in quick acceleration, while batteries store energy for later use. Power electronics manage the flow of electricity between the battery and motor, optimizing performance and efficiency.
