1-1. EV system
Characteristics of the EV (Electric Vehicle) system
The RAV4 EV is considerably different from a conventional vehicle.
Instead of using gasoline, the vehicle is driven using electricity in
the rechargeable traction battery to power the electric motor. This
technology is clean and has a low impact on the environment by not
emitting exhaust such as CO
2 or NOx during operation.
The illustration is an example fo r explanation purposes only and
may vary from the actual vehicle.
Electric motor (traction motor)
Traction battery
Provides electricity to the electric motor and air conditioning system.
12-volt battery
Provides electricity to various vehicle functions such as the audio sys-
tem, wipers, headlights and so forth.
