how do cars work?


You probably already know that there are 3 main types of cars. FCEVs, EVs, and ICEs. But how do they all work? An ICE works by putting diesel or petrol in the engine of the car which with the pressure of the of the fuel and air it makes small explosions which turns the crank and sends power to the wheels. EVs are powered by energy from the battery. This energy is converted into power by an electric motor, which is used to drive the wheels. An electric motor generates more torque and eliminates the need for a traditional transmission. So, the power goes straight to the wheels for an instant acceleration. FCEVs use hydrogen to power an electric motor and like EVs they have 0 co2 emissions.

 Cars cause some problems like ICEs pollute the environment and they don’t exactly help with stopping global warming, or some cars that require a lot of diesel or petrol to run may cause you to lose a lot of money. So, how can you prevent these from happening? A simple solution would be to purchase an electric car which is very good for the environment and doesn’t require you to spend any money on fuel. If you cant afford an electric car like a Tesla you could buy a cheaper one or if you cant afford that either you could always use your ICE or FCEV less by riding your bike to places or just walking.

Pros and cons of different cars

 What are some of the Pros and Cons of different car engines?

If you purchased an EV you wouldn’t have to worry about gas money because all you need is a charger for your EV, you would be helping the environment a lot, and  you would have an amazing acceleration on your car. The only downside is that charging takes a lot longer than it would in an ICE or an FCEV. So, what would it be like if you owned an ICE instead of an EV? You wouldn’t have to wait for a long time for your car to refuel and the range on your car would probably be larger than the range on most EVs. However, your car would be polluting the environment quite a bit, you would have to pay a small fortune to refill your car, and it isn’t as powerful as an EV. Last but not least, what if you owned an FCEV? FCEVs are not bad for the environment and they refuel fast. But fuel for FCEVs can also be pretty expensive, the cars themselves are also pretty expensive, and they are definitely not as powerful as an EV.

ICEs to FCEVs: ICEs are expensive to run and maintain while FCEVs aren’t. ICEs use diesel or petrol while FCEVs use hydrogen for fuel. However they both refuel fast.

EVs to FCEVs: Both EVs and FCEVs are non carbon emitting machines and have no Co2 emissions. However, EVs are cheaper to maintain, because they have lots of power, and are great for the environment. Sadly, they charge a lot slower than FCEVs.


EVs to ICEs: These two cars are almost complete opposites. ICEs are carbon emitting machines, produce Co2 emissions and they are horrible  for the environment, unlike EVs.
