The strengths of electric cars with E-Tech technology

The auto industry’s efforts on technology and sustainability issues are booming. In Colombia alone, the sale of environmentally friendly vehicles is on the rise. This was highlighted by the latest Andemos report. In May 2022, there was an increase in sales of more than 40% compared to the same period of the previous year.

This trend not only allows us to see how the most sustainable solutions are being adopted more gradually by the markets, but also opens up a series of questions about the diversity of technologies which, in the midst of the energy transition, are made available to consumers. users.

In this order of ideas, the concepts ‘hybrid’, ‘plug-in hybrid’ and ‘electric’ send the stop. But what are the main differences?

Begin, hybrid cars They stand out because they have electric motors that are accompanied by a gasoline engine (diesel or gasoline). These electric motors are responsible for allowing the vehicle to move forward at low speed, silently, so that as its speed increases, the vehicle can move forward depending on the battery charge or pressure accelerator, with either engine. Thus, “The electric motor provides additional energy in situations that require it, such as acceleration, and recovers energy during braking” specify Renault experts.

These characteristics make this car an ideal vehicle for the city and commuting, since it can move forward and save in the city in electric mode and on the highways it can also move without sacrificing performance.

plug-in hybrid vehicles They are similar to conventional hybrids, but their main difference is that their battery has a greater capacity and, since they are rechargeable, they can be recharged to operate as a 100% electric vehicle for a short period of time. In addition, point out the brand’s experts, they can reach speeds of 50 km/h in electric mode, which makes them the ideal vehicle for people who want to save up to 75% fuel during urban journeys.

Regarding the 100% electric cars with Renault E-Tech technology, They operate solely using electrical energy stored in a battery. They do not have an internal combustion engine and do not emit polluting gases, which helps to reduce pollution contamination and noise pollution, so recurrent in urban spaces.

Unlike other vehicles, which are also environmentally friendly, these stand out because they only work with electrical energy stored in a battery. “They do not have an internal combustion engine and do not emit polluting gases” specify the experts of the French brand.

This quality is achieved through a Lithium ion battery which can be recharged at any time without being damaged, as it has no memory effect. Said technology, according to the experts of the French brand, allows that today the batteries have a useful life greater than 85% of the average of vehicles in this category and that, thanks to the regenerative braking system, the kinetic energy generated during braking is It is converted into electricity which is stored and reused. So, while in an electric car 95% of the energy is converted into movement, in a combustion car only 30% of the fuel is used for this purpose. This ultimately only leads to the conclusion that electric cars are the public promise of conscious mobility, designed for a cleaner future with lower emissions.
