Across
- 3. The battery is the energy center of the electric vehicle and is recharged by plugging the EV into an electrical outlet or charging station.
- 7. A vehicle that is entirely powered by electricity.
- 9. The total distance an electric vehicle can travel on one full charge before the battery needs to be recharged.
- 10. The basic measurement of electrical power.
- 11. The basic measurement of an EV’s energy – how much power (kilowatts) it can supply over a period of time (hours).
Down
- 1. The part of a battery from which the current leaves the cell. Cathodes are always positive.
- 2. The type of charging usually done at home because it uses a typical 120-volt electrical outlet, charging between 8-20 amps. Level 1 charging is typically done with a portable charging cord.
- 4. The part of a battery that releases electrons during discharge. Anodes are always negative.
- 5. The basic measurement of an EV’s power that is generated by its batteries.
- 6. Stands for internal combustion engine, which is powered by fuel in the form of diesel or gasoline. Internal combustion engines were the standard for vehicles for more than a century.
- 8. A measure of the electromotive force that drives electrons through a circuit.
- 12. Short for ampere, is a unit used to measure electric current (how fast an electric current flows), usually used in the context of EV charging
