Electric Vehicles Introduction --Focus Electric 

Focus Electric consists of a lithium ion battery, electric capacity 23 Kwh, a maximum 123 horsepower, the maximum torque of 245 meters, with front-wheel drive, top speed can reach 136 km/h. , according to ford's official fuel consumption index than the Chevrolet volt, and it's four-wheel brake disc with a braking energy recovery system can be further save electricity. Ford said it's the largest in all-electric mode can reach 160 in the drive. After the battery die can shuttle charge of 120v or 240v power supply, quick charging mode charged just 4 hours. About 18 to 20 hours standard charging mode. Focus charging time for 3-4 hours, the leaf with the 7 to 8 hours. 23 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack for ford, slightly smaller than the leaf 24 kilowatt hour, in spite of this, according to the U.S. environmental protection agency (EPA) data, the fox range can reach 76 miles, 73 miles far more than the leaf, and the fox city/highway/combined fuel economy of oil and gas equivalent to 110/99/105 MPG, more than 106/92 of the leaf / 99 MPG, Mitsubishi's combined fuel economy of up to 126/99/112 MPG. In actual driving, the performance of the Leaf and the Focus differences may not be very obvious, but with a smaller capacity of the battery pack can make such progress, Ford's technology is still commendable.

Toyota Prius is only in the use of motor drive without any pollution to the environment; But during deceleration, braking and downhill will recycle energy for reuse; Especially when the red lights stopped, will automatically stop working, and it will not have any fuel consumption! Therefore, fuel consumption and exhaust emission are effectively improved.
In addition, excellent performance, the world's first electric frequency conversion air conditioning air and the lightweight design of automobile body parts, etc., also help achieve the lower fuel consumption.
In the city road congestion, gasoline engine in most cases is to choose to stop working, powered by electric motors to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption. But if your ideal car environment, traffic jam is rare and often runs high speed, then the hybrid system advantage will be difficult to play

The Chevrolet Volt electric concept car is a universal environmental protection concept car - "the only can compatible with many bring gm new energy technology solution model of competitive advantage". Is called the "universal", because E - Flex system is a very flexible architecture of electric vehicle and perfectly solves the problem of the global automobile energy adaptability. 
Gm Chevrolet Volt is equipped with the latest generation of propulsion system - E - flex system. "E - Flex system" is the name of the gm's next generation of an electric propulsion system. One of the "electricity", "E" said power is the only drive E - Flex models. "Flex" represents the "flexible", and it is said to run cars can be obtained from various channels. The Chevrolet Volt concept car, can from gasoline, ethanol, biodiesel, or gain energy, hydrogen making we can customize the propulsion system, to meet the special requirements and the specific market infrastructure. In Brazil, for example, you can use 100% ethanol for engine power unit and the battery power, Shanghai consumers may use the sun to obtain hydrogen, then get electricity from the fuel cell, and the Swedish consumers may obtain biodiesel from the wood. These alternative energy in E - flexible system architecture can be used on.

Nissan leaf is a size a little bit bigger four-door double-box hatchback sedan, outline and some versa are similar, but it looks a bit unusual. Listing the size of the headlight, stretching from the bumper to the lower part of the front windshield, compared to the conventional sedan car nasal also some sharp, out of the way people look at a glance out its distinctive. Also builds a mystery, inside the whole white interior with black piano lacquer effect article decoration, full digital dashboard and the central control panel color screen emits light blue. Lightweight lithium battery hidden under the floor, almost didnot make a car space, usually people don't detect its existence. That the car is actually pressed the power switch, not familiar with sharp noise or body jitter, hear music can go anytime. The explosive force is very fierce. Response of motor speed is far faster than gasoline engines. As the only child in the incoming ear noise motor high frequency work and insignificant, when I thought was about 40 km/h, the real speed is twice that number, surprised and slightly to die.
