Sketch and describe the layout of series hybrid vehicles.
Series-Hybrid vehicle
In Series Hybrid vehicles, the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) drives a generator, which charges the battery and supplies current to the electronically controlled motor. The electric motor propels the car. In this system, Internal Combustion Engine operates at constant speed with maximum efficiency, It causes low exhaust emissions. The vehicle is controlled electronically. The electric control simplifies the mechanical gears and the differential. Both Internal combustion engine and electric drive have to be rated to the maximum power. It has low overall system efficiency.
