0:00The number of automobile brands and car
0:02types have been increasing in the
0:03Philippines as we speak. And sometimes
0:05it can be a little bit confusing like
0:08what’s between an electric vehicle and a
0:10hybrid EV. Does it actually have a
0:12positive impact on the environment? Hi
0:15guys, it’s CJ here of Yugate and today
0:17we’ll have a short explainer about these
0:19types of electric vehicles like the BEV,
0:22hybrid, [music]
0:23and PHEV and which one suits your needs.
0:26So without further ado, let’s get things
0:28started.
0:31So, what is a battery electric vehicle
0:35or a BEV? As the name suggests, it’s a
0:38car that runs entirely on electricity
0:40stored in batteries. The Hyundai Ionic 5
0:43or 6, old Tesla models are some examples
0:46of BEVs. These cars typically have a
0:48straightforward fundamental design, an
0:50electric motor that uses a rechargeable
0:52battery to power up the wheels. Consider
0:55it similar to [music] a smartphone or
0:57any other device that runs on batteries.
1:00This usually entails unplugging it from
1:02the power charger to start your [music]
1:03day, using it until all of its power is
1:06gone, and then charging it again
1:08overnight. One of the most highly
1:09marketed benefits of full EVs is the
1:12reduced carbon emissions. Additionally,
1:14an electric motor is far quieter than a
1:17conventional combustion engine. At most,
1:19[music] the drivers will just hear a
1:20worse sound.
1:27Car manufacturers have created
1:29workarounds by mimicking engine noises
1:31over the speakers. Even though this
1:32might be an uncomfortable experience for
1:34some, electricity tends to be less
1:37expensive than fuel. This can be a big
1:39lure for individuals to transition to
1:41EVs, especially when combined with
1:43government incentives. One of these are
1:45exemptions from number coding that are
1:47also given to hybrids. However, there
1:50can be no pros without some cons.
1:52There’s this thing called range anxiety.
1:54During travel, especially out of town
1:57trips, users need to keep the EV’s range
1:59in mind. Much like how you get a little
2:01freaked out when your smartphone battery
2:03starts to drop below a percentage level
2:05you’re comfortable with. The plan must
2:07also account for stops where the car can
2:09recharge [music] its batteries even if
2:11the destination cannot be reached
2:13directly. In the US, for example,
2:15there’s a network of charging stops via
2:17the Tesla Supercharge Map. This may lead
2:19to inconvenient stopovers and longer
2:21routes overall. Plus, even the fastest
2:24EV charges today won’t outpace the sheer
2:27speed of just refilling up gas to a full
2:29tank. While more robust charges will
2:31still take 30 to 60 minutes, it may take
2:34a full night to charge the battery using
2:36a household power [music] outlet.
2:37Battery deterioration also starts to
2:39play a role after thousands of cycles of
2:42use. [music]
2:43Even if portable battery pack technology
2:45has improved significantly in recent
2:47years, it’s still susceptible to aging.
2:49Most studies show a 1 to 2% reduction in
2:52battery capacity per year. Considering
2:54that the majority of automakers estimate
2:56the battery should last around 10 to 20
2:58years, this comes to about 10 to 40%.
3:01Despite that fact, EVs haven’t gone
3:04mainstream for a long time. Long enough
3:06that most users don’t usually consider
3:07replacing their EV’s battery. This could
3:10be another disadvantage because while
3:12electricity itself could be cheaper,
3:14replacing batteries of EVs is extremely
3:16expensive. But what about hybrids? Cars
3:18with a hybrid system or HEV for short,
3:21aim to make electric vehicles more
3:23accessible. It’s regarded as a practical
3:25choice for consumers who want to enjoy
3:27certain benefits [music] of EV. Instead
3:29of only relying on electric motors, HEVs
3:32carry a lower powered version integrated
3:34with a traditional fuel engine. [music]
3:36The two power sources work in tandem to
3:39propel the vehicle. There’s no need for
3:40[music] a gas consuming petrol or a
3:42diesel engine. As the electric
3:44powertrain provides sufficient
3:46assistance, so users can just use a less
3:48thirsty specification to gas up the car.
3:51This leads to fuel savings for the
3:53gasoline engine when compared to a fuel
3:55vehicle without electric assistance. And
3:57did you know HEVs utilize this so-called
4:01regenerative braking? The science behind
4:03it is transferring kinetic energy and
4:05heat from a mere braking, then storing
4:08it as a battery charge. There are many
4:10different kinds of hybrid systems
4:11available. Certain hybrid cars can even
4:14operate entirely on their electric
4:16motors for a short amount of time. Some
4:18manufacturers, however, build mild
4:20hybrids which cannot run on battery
4:22power alone. That’s because these types
4:24[music] of cars are equipped with small
4:26electric motors, mainly just to provide
4:28assistance to the usual fuel engine,
4:30improving efficiency and reducing carbon
4:32emissions. HEVs look to be the most
4:35appealing option [music]
4:36because of their fuel efficiency
4:37benefits and the lack of range anxiety.
4:40Some examples of HEVs are Toyota Altis
4:43Hybrid, RAV 4 Hybrid, and GW and Haval
4:46Jolon. Meanwhile, [music] the Suzuki
4:48Ortigga hybrid, Genie Oka Vango, and
4:51Maza CX60 or90 are a few well-known mild
4:54hybrid cars [music] that you may be
4:56familiar with. So, is there a hybrid
4:59that you can plug in? Good question.
5:01There is, but they’re not as common.
5:03This variant is dubbed the plug-in
5:05hybrid, or PHEV for short. Both the
5:08gasoline engine and the onboard electric
5:10motor or battery [music] are designed in
5:12such a way that they can carry the
5:14weight by itself. Both the gasoline
5:16engine and the onboard electric motor or
5:18battery are made to carry their weight
5:20on their own. Of course, they may work
5:23better together, but they may also
5:24function on their own. When compared to
5:26a standard hybrid and EV mode, the
5:28onboard electric battery offers a
5:30significant range from 50 to 100 km.
5:34Until you can take into account that the
5:36PHEV’s battery can only be recharged
5:39externally. until you find another
5:40source of power. The car will function
5:43like a typical internal combustion gas
5:45burner after the battery runs out of
5:47electricity. And yes, it can also employ
5:50regenerative braking. Examples sold in
5:52the country include the Mitsubishi
5:53Outlander PHEV, Cherry Tigo 8 Pro, and
5:57Bike [music] B30 Eune. So, that’s it for
