Why fuel efficiency is important
• Oil Reserves are diminishing
• New data shows Canada has world second largest oil reserves after Saudi Arabia

Why fuel efficient cars? Global warming due to CO2 emission
Combustion (burning)
Fuel(C,H)+O2 CO2 + CO + H2O + energy(heat)
Toxic pollutants such as SOX and NOX, CO and unburned hydrocarbons
CO2 emission 1980-1999%32 for Transportation

Hybrid cars
Better fuel efficiency, up to %80 theoretically possibleLess CO2 emission and pollutionLower maintenance

A short history of hybrid & electric cars 1825
Steam Engine Car, British inventor Goldsworthy 85 miles round trip took 10 hours (14 km/h)
1870 First electric car was build in Scotland
1897 The London Electric Cab Company used a 40-cell battery and 3
horsepower electric motor, Could be driven 50 miles between charges
1898 The German Dr. Porsche, at age 23, Built the world's first front-wheel-
drive Porsche's second car was a hybrid, using an internal combustion
engine to spin a generator that provided power to electric motors located in the wheel hubs. On battery alone, the car could travel nearly 40 miles

A short history of hybrid & electric cars 1900
US car companies made 1,681 steam, 1,575 electric and 936 gasoline cars.
In a poll, electric was the first choice, followed by steam 1904
Henry Ford overcame the gasoline engine issues: noise, vibration, and odor
Produced low-priced, lightweight, gas-powered vehicles Within a few years, the Electric Vehicle Company failed
1997-99 Toyota, Audi, Honda, Ford, GM followed by other main car
manufactures introduced new generation of electric and hybrid cars 2004
The Toyota Prius II won 2004 Car of the Year Awards from Motor Trend Magazine and the North American Auto Show.
Toyota was surprised by the demand and pumped up its production from 36,000 to 47,000 for the U.S

Where does fuel energy go in a conventional car
Source: www.fueleconomy.gov US DOE
•87.4 % of fuel energy is wasted•Only 12.6 % of fuel energy is transferred to the wheels•5.8 % is turned to kinetic energy, consumed in the brake•17.2 % idling losses, engine on with no torque

How hybrids save fuel1. Engine is turned off at:
Stops Lower speed (say less that 15 km/h), an electric motor drives
the car until speed reaches a certain limit, then engine kicks in
When vehicle is stopping or going downhill, engine is turned off, Regenerative braking is applied
2. When engine operates in an inefficient mode(e.g. at very high or very low engine speeds), the electric motor kicks in and assists engine. Engine is driven to its optimum operating zone
3. Engine can be made smaller, due to electric motor assistance

• VB > VA accelerating, fuel is consumed, kinetic energy is increased
• VA > VB braking, vey little fuel is consumed, kinetic energy is reduced
energy is dissipated in the brakes as heat in conventional cars
In hybrids braking energy is recovered by an electric generator and stored in a batteryit is called regenerative energy, or “Regen Energy”

Need engine power, fuel is consumed, potential energy is increased
no need for engine power
Braking, vey little fuel is consumed, potential energy is reduced energy is dissipated in the brakes as heat in conventional cars
In hybrids braking energy is recovered, Engine can be turned off automatically going downhill

How Electric cars work
18
Electric carsHave comparable speed and powerZero emission for hydro electric grids like BCHigh overall fuel efficiency, thermal power plants can
have up to 80% efficiency and lower emissionNo IC engine, no transmission, no engine oil, no gearbox
fluidLower maintenanceLower priceGood for inner city short trips Simple and mature techLow noise
100 years old

Plug in hybridPlug in hybrid has advantages of the both
GM 2011 Chevrolet Volt can run for 40 miles on electric power alone
Only uses gasoline to power a generator if the 40-mile range is exceeded

Hybrid cars issues Currently more expensive than conventionalHeavier than conventional, due to battery pack and electric motors
weightLimited battery lifeExpensive battery pack if you want to replace itSafety issues, high voltage battery and fuelReliability, still under study,More complex computer controlled systemsMay have drivability issuesExpensive to repair
21
Electric cars issuesNeeds heavy duty power plug terminal (high current) everywhere:
home, parking and street with metering deviceElectric energy infrastructure (generation, transmission and
distribution) must be expanded to provide extra energy for this type of cars.
Travels short distances, inner cityLow speedBattery charging takes timeLimited battery life Safety issuesNeed new regulatory standards and New building electric code
22
Technology challenges and opportunities Battery capacity reduces by time, even you do not use it.
This will impact fuel economy
Fuel economy is dependant
on battery capacity
23
The Honda Insight’s battery pack120 Panasonic 1.2-volt cells (total 144 V) Nickel metal hydride 100A discharge, and 50A charge rates The system limits the usable capacity to 4ah to extend battery life
Technology challenges and opportunities Time of battery changing is long(plug in hybrid)Batteries are heavy (100kg extra weight consumes 2L/100km
more)Batteries are expensiveLow performance in hot or cold temperatures also may damage the
batteryVery sensitive to overcharge/undercharge(Battery life reduces
dramatically)Contain toxic heavy metals, disposal issue
Opportunity for researchers:
Advance research projects on batteries are supported by governments and industries
