如何用英語準確描述電動汽車

想要用英語準確描述電動汽車，以下這些要點得掌握。

先說電動汽車這個詞，常見表述是“electric vehicle”或“electric car”。

描述動力來源，就講“It is powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries.”

電動汽車優點多，像“Electric cars have many advantages. They produce zero emissions and are environmentally friendly. The battery life of electric cars has been greatly improved, allowing them to travel longer distances on a single charge.”

性能方面，“Electric cars offer instant torque, providing smooth and powerful acceleration.”

種類上，“There are different types of electric cars, such as pure electric cars and extended-range electric vehicles.”

和傳統燃油車對比，“Compared with petrol and diesel vehicles, electric cars are quieter and more energy-efficient.”

介紹定義可以說“An electric vehicle is a car that runs on electricity rather than petrol.”

類型像“Several types of electric vehicles exist, including Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), Plug-in Hybrids, and Full Electric vehicles.”

工作原理是“They work by using electricity to power the electric motor, which then moves the car.”

再生制動很重要，“Regenerative Braking captures the energy from braking, which is normally lost as heat, and uses it to recharge the battery.”

對比時要清楚，“Electric vehicles get energy from electricity while normal cars use fossil fuels. Energy in EVs is stored in rechargeable batteries and in normal cars in petrol tanks. The engine type of EVs is an electric motor and of normal cars is an internal combustion engine. Energy is put in through a power outlet and charging cord for EVs and a petrol cap for normal cars.”

外觀聲音得描述，“An EV looks like a normal car but sounds silent when running as it has fewer moving parts.”

強調環保好處，“EVs are better for the environment as they produce 27 per cent less CO2 than petrol cars and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They produce no carbon emissions when powered using renewable energy.”

優點不能忘，“The benefits of electric vehicles include being cheaper to run as electricity is cheaper than petrol, being better for the environment, reducing noise pollution and having less environmental impacts across their life-cycle.”

像雪佛蘭沃藍達，主驅動能源是電，備用驅動能源是汽油，純電模式下能跑 80 千米，電用完增程系統靠汽油能再跑 490 千米。

豐田普銳斯是 1997 年在日本首次銷售的首款量產混動車。

日產聆風空間大、可靠、價格合適，性能參數不錯，電池離地高，安全。

總之，記住這些，就能用英語把電動汽車介紹得明明白白。
