How does an engine contribute to a car's powertrain?

The powertrain in a vehicle is the system responsible for generating power and delivering it to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. The operation of a powertrain can vary depending on whether the vehicle is powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE) or an electric motor (in the case of electric vehicles). Here's a general overview of how a powertrain works in both types of vehicles:

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vehicle - Combustion Process: In an ICE vehicle, the powertrain starts with the combustion process in the engine. Fuel (gasoline or diesel) mixes with air in the combustion chamber and is ignited by spark plugs (in gasoline engines) or compression (in diesel engines).

Power Generation: The combustion process generates energy in the form of mechanical power, causing pistons to move up and down within the cylinders of the engine. This motion drives the crankshaft, converting linear motion into rotational motion.

Transmission: The rotational motion from the crankshaft is transmitted to the transmission, which consists of gears that allow the driver to select different ratios (speeds). This enables the engine to operate efficiently across a range of vehicle speeds.

Drivetrain: The transmission sends power to the drivetrain components, including the driveshaft, differential, and axles, which transfer power to the wheels. The differential allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds, enabling smooth turns.

Wheel Movement: The power transmitted through the drivetrain causes the wheels to rotate, propelling the vehicle forward or backward depending on the gear selection and throttle input from the driver.

Electric Vehicle (EV) -

Battery Pack: The primary source of power for the EV, storing electricity in chemical form.Powers the electric motor and provides electricity for all electronic devices within the EV.

Battery Management System (BMS): Monitors battery cell conditions, including voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge (SoC).It protects the battery against overcharging, deep discharging, and overheating and helps balance the charge across cells. Ensures optimal performance and longevity of the battery by regulating its environment.

Inverter: Converts DC from the battery pack into AC to drive the electric motor.Adjusts the frequency and amplitude of the AC output to control the motor’s speed and torque. Critical for translating electrical energy into mechanical energy efficiently.

Onboard Charger: Facilitates the conversion of external AC (from the grid) to DC to charge the battery pack. Integrated within the vehicle, allowing for charging from standard electrical outlets or specialized EV charging stations. Manages charging rate based on battery status to ensure safe and efficient charging.

DC-DC Converter: Steps down the high-voltage DC from the battery pack to the lower-voltage DC needed for the vehicle's auxiliary systems, such as lighting, infotainment, and climate control. Ensures compatibility between the high-voltage battery system and low-voltage electronic components.

Electric Motor: Converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to propel the vehicle. It can be of various types, such as induction motors or permanent magnet synchronous motors, each offering different efficiencies and characteristics. Typically provides instant torque, resulting in rapid acceleration.

Vehicle Control Unit (VCU): The central computer or electronic control unit (ECU) that governs the EV's systems. Processes inputs from the vehicle’s sensors and driver inputs to manage power delivery, regenerative braking, and vehicle dynamics. Ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and safety.

Power Distribution Unit (PDU): Manages electrical power distribution from the battery to the EV’s various systems. Ensures that components such as the electric motor, onboard charger, and DC-DC converter receive the power they need to operate efficiently. Protects the vehicle's electrical systems by regulating current flow and preventing electrical faults.

In both ICE vehicles and EVs, the powertrain's components work together to convert energy into motion, enabling the vehicle to move efficiently and effectively. However, the specific technologies and processes involved differ significantly between the two propulsion systems.

If anyone was wondering, those of us who live in regions with cold weather have realized that purely electric vehicles aren’t actually viable here for YEARS

[robpegoraro]

Now I really do hope it's at least two more years before we buy a battery-electric car

Last week, we won a weird old-car-ownership lottery by having the hybrid battery of our Toyota Prius fail–after about 17 and a half years and just over 126,000 miles. That more than doubled the eight years covered by Toyota’s warranty and comfortably exceeded the warranty’s alternate minimum of 100,000 miles, a threshold we crossed in February of 2018. Back when we bought this then-cutting-edge…

Yes, vegans did do something to Chileans.

None of them are gonna be physically violent

The Reddit users are going to judge you if you express any religious or “unscientific” sentiment

The Catholics run the gamut from “hardcore pro-lifer” to “Nun who invented communism”

The Protestants have brought lots of food but are going to proselytize the entire time you eat

The crystalists are split 60/40 on whether or not vaccines cause autism, and you don’t know who has the majority until you’ve been there an hour

The Anglophiles have good pastries, but 1/3 of them are in Sherlock cosplay

The girlbosses are all within 10° to the left of the center of the political spectrum and will try very hard to get you to invest in their MLM

The vegans brought food but will turn hostile if you let slip that you’ve used animal products in the last year

The reenactors have booze, but your phone is dead and they’re giving a very pro-America history lecture

The influencers have a pool, a jacuzzi, and lots of drugs, but they have a combined net worth that teaches seven digits and won’t let you forget it

The retirees have great weed but they’re gonna ask you a lot of invasive questions and give you a lot of unsolicited advice.

EV's are saving the car industry, not the environment. The fact that it's a "cleaner" source of energy is just a nice buzzword they can advertise with. It's Greenwashing.

Lithium is straight up not part of a green future imo, it's as bad as coal and gas* if not worse in some ways. You aren't personally seeing the damage on the environment first hand because advertisers sell it as a clean energy source, but it is catastrophic to the local water table and environment. I'm not saying it isn't a step towards a greener future. Moving away from non-renewable resources is always a good thing (even if lithium isn't renewable, just able to be recharged with renewable energy). That being said, hand waving away the problems the industry does have keeps letting manufacturers and mining companies as a whole get away with letting these issues continue. Especially in regards to safety. This includes musk mans teslas

There is already a post in the notes about the actual mining of lithium and the fact in many countries, workers are currently being exploited (child labor) and not being protected during the mining process. Lithium is incredibly toxic, and the process needs water in order to separate the lithium AND cobalt salts via evaporation to purify them. Many facilities that do this create massive open air pools that are well known to be leaking these toxic salts into the soil, not to mention the fumes are incredibly toxic. The important thing to note though, is these open air "lakes" at this point in time are not REVERSIBLE. Once they are established that section of land is permanently damaged by the salts, acids and polluted water leaching into the soil. Op mentioned this, but it IS something people should think about when purchasing and using EV's or any device that has lithium batteries for that matter.

My main beef with lithium batteries, esp with vehicles and the scooters is how dangerous the batteries are. There are multiple scientists which I will link some of their videos to that are attempting to educate and warn both firefighter's and the public about how volatile those batteries are. I am also not the only one having issues with the safety, while it is currently cheaper to afford an EV the insurance rates on those cars is going to be going up if it hasn't already in your area. It has in mine. Many cities (in my country at least) are also restricting where these vehicles can be parked, there are bylaws being passed that won't allow EV's to be parked underground or in sheltered parking areas (including garages that are shared with other vehicles). Why? Because these batteries (esp if they aren't laboratory tested and approved) if overcharged can spontaneously combust while parked. The fumes these flames produce is also incredibly toxic compared to standard gas fires (Hydrofluoric gas) among other chemicals which are severely under studied on how they are affecting your body beyond the obvious hydrofluoric acid that burns your lungs/nose/eyes. Hazmat is called for EV fires for these reasons.

These fires are also much hotter then traditional gas fires, capable of melting asphalt and concrete within seconds of ignition. Hence why the ban on underground parking because a lithium fire WILL cause structural support damage. And it isn't just overcharging, mechanical damage, wear and tear, water will all cause the batteries to catastrophically fail. There is footage of an EV having a minor collision with another vehicle that was enough to cause it to combust shown in the video link I have bellow. Most standard EV's also have their batteries stored on the bottom of the car in a sealed metal case instead of under the hood like with gas powered engines (you are sitting over the battery), this also means that if there is a fire there is the additional challenge for firefighters to be able to put out the flame due to it being blocked by the actual vehicle itself. Public transport EV's (buses) have them on the roof but the rate of failure in those batteries is even higher then personal EV's at the moment because of overcharging and cheap batteries that fail to meet standards.

Thermal runaway means that through the chemical reaction occurring, the fire is able to produce its own fuel, oxygen and heat to remain burning. There are many cases where once these fires start they can burn for literal days. It takes 40x the water compared to a standard gas fire to smother, and even then it isn't effective because it is a class B fire, meaning that you need chemical foams or carbon dioxide to kill the fire, which again is hard if its on the underside of the vehicle. These batteries can also REIGNITE DAYS TO WEEKS AFTER THE INITIAL FIRE BTW.

TW: Death, Car accidents, Injury seen in the video.

I want to restate that i do NOT want to keep driving around in a gas powered vehicle, I want a greener future! But tesla is just the tip of the iceberg for the problems that the EV and battery industry is facing/downplaying. These are topics that should be discussed and just because people have safety concerns doesn't make them gas guzzlers, that is very disingenuous. Alot of people concerned are people who are knowledgeable about the industry, or are people who are trained to deal with fires and such related to these industries.

The answer in my mind isn't to sit there and downplay these peoples concerns, but to address the very real elephant in the room. People have the right to make informed decisions about their purchases. If you want to look past all this so that you can support a company that may or may not work towards a greener future, that is your choice. But people who want to wait for safer alternatives are not wrong for doing so either. But if we are going to be stuck with lithium batteries for the foreseeable future there needs to be a push from voters to push policies to crack down on second hand battery sales, screening and banning of sub par non lab tested batteries, the removal of underground parking, and public education on battery maintenance and safety. But ultimately we need to get away from Lithium. You could argue its a stepping stone in the right direction, but until you remove big oil from the entire process of producing, powering and repairing/maintaining these vehicles it's still not a green solution.

please do not go so hard at "Elon is terrible and the Cybertruck is a dumpster fire" (which is true) that you somehow make your way to "electric cars are all ticking time bombs" (which is false, and mostly said by people who want to keep driving combustion engine cars perpetually because they think the climate crisis is made up)

Ford's South African unit is investing $281 million to make a hybrid car, as the government warns of an "existential threat" to the sector from the ban on new petrol cars in 2035. The company is celebrating 100 years in South Africa, and has announced an investment of $281 million to produce the hybrid car, the Ranger. The investment will go into the production of the vehicle, which is set to be released from its Pretoria factory from late 2024.

Every electric car I have ever driven has regenerative braking built right in there as a matter of course.

I live on the shoulder of a small mountain over a river-valley city, so this means on the way into town for [basically anything] I can ride the brake almost the whole way in favorable weather and traffic conditions, and get downhill practically for free.

Which is useful, because going up again is expensive.
