Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The distance from the scene of the hit-and-run accident to the convention center in Atlanta, Georgia, is 140 miles each way. Based on the reported battery of the Tesla model S, in which factors would affect the battery range of this vehicle has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Hybrid Electric Vehicle: It combines one of the energy conversion technologies, one of the energy storage systems a power unit and a vehicle propulsion system. Many combinations are possible although batteries are by far the most popular choice for energy storage.

The combination of conventional and electric and electric propulsion system is believed to offer the possibility of reducing emission and fuel consumption and giving consumers the extended range and converting refueling.

Battery: It is a storage device used for the storage of chemical energy and for the transformation of chemical energy into electrical energy.

Primary battery: Primary batteries are irreversible transform chemical energy to electrical energy. When the initial supply of reactants is exhausted, energy cannot be readily restored to the battery by electrical means.

Secondary battery: This can be recharged, that is they can have their chemical reaction reversed by supplying electrical energy to the cell restoring their original composition.
