EV (Electric Vehicles)

EV is the abbreviation for electric vehicle. An electric vehicle obtains its power by turning a motor with electricity rather than using an internal combustion engine burning gasoline or other fuel. As the source for the electricity, there are PEV, which use batteries, vehicles that drive while generating electricity from solar batteries, FCV that obtain the electricity for driving by generating it in a fuel cell, as well as HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicles) that generate electricity with an engine and when the system is fully charged drive with both the electric motor and engine. Pure electric vehicles, which exclude hybrid electric vehicles, are still not common, but from the perspectives of energy problems and environmental protection, they are expected to develop significantly in the future. The drive motors and electric generation motors in these electric cars, including hybrid electric vehicles, mainly use rare earth magnets.
