An internal combustion engine is a type of engine that uses the combustion of fuel and air to create power. The fuel and air are mixed in a combustion chamber and then ignited by a spark plug. The resulting explosion forces a piston down, which turns a crankshaft. The crankshaft then turns the wheels of the car.
An electric vehicle is a
vehicle that is powered by electricity. Electricity is stored in a battery and
then used to power an electric motor. The electric motor turns the wheels of
the car and the car moves.
There are many differences between an internal
combustion engine and an electric vehicle. Some key differences include Fuel
source: Internal combustion engines use gasoline or diesel fuel, while
electric cars use electricity. Powertrain: Internal combustion engines
use a complex system of pistons, crankshafts, and gears to convert the power of
the combustion into movement, while electric vehicles use a simple electric
motor. Emissions: Internal
combustion engines produce harmful emissions, while electric vehicles produce
zero emissions. Noise: Internal
combustion engines are noisy, while electric cars are quiet. Recharging: Internal combustion engines
must be refueled with gasoline or diesel, while electric vehicles can be
recharged with electricity.
