Application of Friction Welding in Electric Vehicle Construction

Electric VehicleAn electric vehicle is a car that runs entirely on electricity (Figure 1).This energy is stored in a rechargeable battery.One or more electric motors powered by the battery propel the vehicle.Of course, electric vehicles do not require fuel and do not emit exhaust gases, making them more environmentally friendly than cars with a combustion engine.Figure 1: Electric vehicle. Types of electric vehiclesElectric vehicles can be divided into two types : a.Type 1: 100% electric vehicles: are vehicles cars that run entirely on electricity stored in their battery. b.Type 2 : Hybrid vehicles are vehicles that combine a gasoline engine and an electric motor.The motors work in tandem to power the car.According to economic statistics, sales of electric vehicles continue to grow.This is due to the technology, which is now mature and constantly improving.Another reason for this growth is that electric mobility now appears essential to reduce the impact of transport on the environment [1].
