No wonder cars are the future. Countries around the world are preparing to burn their internal combustion engines, and manufacturers are beginning to read all their queues in electric motors. In this process, many eyes raise fundamental problems, not the appearance of motorized cars. This is a matter of electric charging. Charging station infrastructure, charging time, issues such as the way charging is currently marked in the part to be solved. Recently, quite interesting cars have appeared. This is the Sonata Hybrid. What are the features of Sonata Hybrid caught in the eye?
Sonata Hybrid represents the future of electric charging
Hyundai last 7 PN 22 launched eco-friendly Sonata Hybrid models of the day Sonata. In particular, the Sonata Hybrid attracted attention with its latest technology, which had never been seen before. The technologies are Active Shift Control (ASC) and Solar Roof System, respectively. Active Shift Control (ASC) and Solar Roof System, respectively. Active Shift Control (ASC) was first developed by Hyundai Motors as a new technology that uses the engine to precisely control the gearbox 500 times a second. The solar roof system uses solar panels to collect sunlight and charge the car battery. Existing hybrid cars can be charged at a certain level with the help of chargers and regenerative braking devices, while Sonata Hybrid offers a more advanced way of charging using sunlight.
The Hyundai solar roofing system (hereinafter referred to as the solar system) was developed as a way of responding to environmental regulations in 2020. The first-generation silicon solar roof applied to the Sonata Hybrid is a mass-produced silicon solar cell installed on a common circuit. Hyundai continues to develop up to the third generation, and each of them refers to a car with an internal combustion engine for the second generation of translucent solar roofing and an environmentally friendly model for the third generation of solar roofing. The third generation, in particular, aims to maximize power by integrating solar cells on the hood, roof, etc. E. Car.
The basic principle of solar power generation systems assembled solar panels through, it will be assembled or stored in the battery to reduce the load on the generator them. The solar system consists of three panels, a controller and a battery. The sunlight falling on the surface of a solar cell is divided into electrons and holes and generates energy. This energy is stored through the MPPT controller (maximum power tracking, which improves efficiency through voltage and current monitoring) and the transformer.
The solar system developed by Hyundai Motor acts as an auxiliary energy, not as the main energy. Its main task is to charge the battery and help with the capacity of the car. However, this leads to an increase in mileage of up to 1300 km and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions per year. Another expectation is that a new charging method has been proposed. The third generation Solar Lid mentioned above is being stimulated for use in environmentally-friendly vehicles. If the technology is mass-produced with higher efficiency, it is expected to be a breakthrough in the way electric vehicles are charged in the future.
Solar-powered cars are not the technology of the future
Although the Hyundai solar system is obviously an outstanding technology, the concept of charging a car from solar energy is an idea that was introduced more than 60 years ago. 1955 8 Mon 31 days General Motors, Sun mobile, introduced the first solar car with the name. Combining 12 selenium photovoltaic and electric motors, the car became a 38-centimeter toy result, but it was a new concept of a car working in sunlight.
Of which 7 years later, in 1962, an equal member of the International Rectifier in a company called the Company also disclosed the solar car directly to the rider. Using 10,640 solar cells and collectors, the car was able to move. Toyota Prius Prime first introduced solar panels in hybrid cars.
Thus, solar energy, solar panels, concepts such as solar charge have already been offered for a long time. However, this means that the Sonata Hybrid solar system has evolved to reduce waste and increase efficiency compared to other companies. Currently, many problems need to be overcome through the use of auxiliary power level technology. However, if we continue to develop and experience difficulties, it is expected that such solar charging will be possible with the charging of an electric car in the future.
How's the electric car charging going?
Concerns about new electric charging methods, such as solar charging, continue. This is for more efficient charging and convenience. What could then be different from the current charging method of plug-ins and solar cell charging method?
Wireless charging method
IT devices that are incompatible with electrical charging are now in the wireless arena. Wireless headphones are already on the rise, and a wireless charger is also available for charging your smartphone. It is no longer inconvenient to connect and charge the wires. Besides, wireless charging has been introduced in electric cars.
KAIST Professor Cho Dong Ho introduced the world's first commercially available electric car with wireless charging. This self-resonating electric vehicle with a resonant frequency can be charged while driving if the electric line is on the road. In addition to wireless charging, there are methods of magnetic induction and electromagnetic wave charging, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Car manufacturers are also interested in wireless charging, and Hyundai and Volvo are investing in companies that develop wireless charging.
Battery Replacement Method
When electronics run out of power, we replace the batteries. The easiest and most convenient way. Electromobiles also show the way to replace the batteries that are the power supply to the engine. In 2007, the startup company Better Place (Better Place) appeared and dreamed of promoting electric cars with a battery replacement scheme. The representative of the Dunn called Better Place electric car industry as Steve Jobs Shay Agassi (Shay Agassi) is "the end of the oil era" already used their power to build infrastructure for electric cars and popularized it.
Obstacles to the popularization of electric vehicles are the cost of batteries and the long charging time, which he hopes to solve with the most basic method of battery replacement. The response to this idea was explosive and continued investment and cooperation with General Electric, HSBC Holdings, and Renault. In the end, however, the company went bankrupt in 2013 due to sluggish sales and a constant decline in sales.
The expression ahead of time will be perfect. But Shea Agassi's talk about replacing the battery was clearly meaningful. The Taiwanese startup scooter GOGORO, not the automotive industry, demonstrated an electric scooter with battery replacement. In particular, the high platform height energy than the electric scooter "Smart Energy (Smart Energy)" is. Scooter drivers at higher altitudes are the main base for the battery drops 1 station installed each ㎞ "said station" can be replaced by a new battery in the. The old battery can only be stored at the high station, recharge and replace with a new battery after about 6 seconds. This innovative idea has pissed off the blast furnace, and in Taiwan, there are now more than 1,000 places under the blast furnace loading infrastructure.
In the next few years, more electric cars than cars with internal combustion engines will be visible on the road. Electric cars have already developed over 300 km, but the charging infrastructure is not enough to support them. To solve this problem, it is necessary to cooperate with other companies and countries besides car manufacturers. We look forward to the efforts to unite companies, countries, and consumers so that they can shed light on the future era of electric cars.
