An electric car is a vehicle that is powered by an engine that uses electricity in a battery. The battery must be charged. The development of energy storage technology, especially battery technology, has recently made the use of electric cars popular again. Electric mobility (Electro Mobiliy) is a general term for the development of electromobility aimed at moving away from the use of fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions. The main advantage of this electromobility lies in its high efficiency and low carbon dioxide emissions.
Meanwhile, hydrogen vehicles are vehicles that use hydrogen gas as fuel. These vehicles are not limited to cars, there are already airplanes that use hydrogen as fuel. The advantage of an electric car is that the engine sound is softer, quieter and quieter. Suitable for those who are sensitive to disturbing sounds. This allows us to ride more comfortably and focus on different traffic or road conditions. Another advantage is that the use of electric cars is very environmentally friendly because they do not produce emissions that can contribute to pollution. Because electric cars have a gear mechanism that processes electricity. In this way, there are no residual CO2 and CO emissions as in conventional cars.
The disadvantages of using electric cars are the limited battery charging locations, long charging time, limited range, abnormal batteries, and environmental problems. The use of hydrogen cars also has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that hydrogen vehicles can travel longer distances compared to conventional electric cars, because they do not rely entirely on batteries but on the volume of the gas bottle.
Apart from small amounts of carbon dioxide and water, hydrogen-powered vehicles produce no gas emissions. This makes hydrogen an environmentally friendly fuel and does not cause air pollution. In addition, hydrogen-powered vehicles are quiet. Like an electric car, the result of the chemical reaction of this tool is only water vapor. So that it can be said that hydrogen vehicles are very environmentally friendly vehicles.
The electricity generated by the fuel cell is then used in an electric motor to drive the wheels of the car. And the disadvantage of using a hydrogen car is that it is expensive. Of course, apart from the advantages, this vehicle has disadvantages that make it difficult to move. For example, the average cost of producing a hydrogen cell is much higher than that of producing fossil fuels. The purchase price is much higher, the model range is smaller, which takes up more space because fuel cell electric cars are technically complex. Electric cars work differently from conventional motorized vehicles.
The propulsion system is simpler and comes in several types. As time goes by, the trend towards electric cars is increasing. Many manufacturers are starting to introduce electrical products. Jointly supported by the Indonesian government through infrastructure development and tax incentives for electric cars. One of the advantages of electric cars is that they are more environmentally friendly than internal combustion cars. Electric cars produce zero emissions, are quiet to drive and compete with internal combustion engines in terms of performance.
The components of an electric car are different and have different functions. In general, an electric car consists of three main components. The components of an electric car are different and have different functions. Generally, there are three main components embedded in an electric device.
And for the future, the problem of choosing an electric car or a hydrogen car must be even more exclusive, and of course it is more planned what vehicle to use in the future.
