warm temperatures
Which of the following is a feature of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)?
They always operate in all-electric mode.
Which of the following is a significant, current industry trend?
EV batteries are improving with longer range and shorter charge times.
Electrified vehicle driving range has been shown to be reduced by what driving condition?
Extreme hot or cold temperatures
Which of the following is NOT a factor in the slow growth of the electrified vehicle market?
High financing interest rates
Which of the following is an operating feature of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)?
It can operate in all-electric mode.
Which of the following is an attribute of Level 2 charging?
It uses a 240V circuit and can be installed for home-charging.
Which of the following describes the warranty coverage for electrified vehicle batteries in the U.S.?
They are mandated by law to be a minimum of eight years or 100,000 miles
Which of these is an advantage that Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have over Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)?
They can use the gas engine as well as operate in all-electric m
Why do vehicle design engineers prefer lithium-ion battery packs for use in electrified vehicles?
They hold their charge longer, even when not in use.
Which of these is a unique attribute of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs)?
Uses both the gas engine and electric motor for power during heavy acceleration
Links to available state and local incentives for an electrified vehicle can be found on
the respective brand websites
The onboard charger is a component of plug-in vehicles that is designed to
NOT generate electricity from the wheels while braking, transferring the energy back to the battery pack NOT manage the flow of electricity from the battery to regulate the torque it produces
Which of the following is an attribute of parallel hybrid technology?
Provides additional horsepower and torque
Which of these is an advantage that Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) have over conventional gas-powered vehicles?
They produce zero tailpipe emissions.
The "fuel efficiency" of an electrified vehicle is measured in
kilowatt-hours per 100 miles
The benefits of regenerative braking are most evident in
stop-and-go urban traffic
Regenerative braking is designed to
capture energy normally lost during braking by using the electric motor as a generator and storing the captured energy in the battery
The thermal cooling system in an electrified vehicle
maintains a proper operating temperature range of the engine, electric motor, power electronics and other components
Favorable tax treatment and other government-sponsored incentives are benefitting the EV market because
the Federal government's policies are designed to help lower the cost of electrified vehicles for the customer
